Virtual Access Networks Names Steven Fisch CEO E-Business Integration Leader To Drive Adoption Of System Migration Solutions LAWRENCE, MA, June 19, 2001 -- Virtual Access Networks, the industry's leading provider of XML-based system migration and file management solutions, today appointed Steven Fisch as President and Chief Executive Officer. The company's lead product, The Van, delivers significant value, robust functionality, and quantifiable cost savings to companies managing change in computing environments. IT departments in all industries can benefit from The Van's simplified solution to the management of complex system and data migration projects. A thirty-year industry veteran, Fisch has held officer-level positions with leading companies in the enterprise software, systems, and e-business sectors. As CEO of Virtual Access Networks, Fisch is charged with applying his extensive experience in sales, marketing, and business development to accelerate product development, tap new distribution channels, and increase enterprise adoption of The Van; the company's award-winning systems migration solution. "Steve is a motivator, innovator and strong business leader," said Lee Barbieri, Chairman of the Board of Virtual Access Networks. "His entrepreneurial style and operational acumen have enabled some of the most influential IT companies to penetrate untapped markets through strategic partnerships and effective marketing. We are confident Steve will help Virtual Access Networks realize its mission to become the standard in system and data migration and information access," said Barbieri. Fisch added, "An individual's professional success - and that of any company - is directly linked to the ability to effectively access critical content, regardless of the device. As enhanced computing environments are regularly introduced, the need to migrate settings and data from one system to another becomes increasingly important, and the problem becomes increasingly complex. Virtual Access Networks' foresight into this escalating business demand coupled with its pioneering use of XML technology has positioned the company to become the industry standard for complex settings migrations across all popular platforms." Before joining Virtual Access Networks, Fisch served as President of US Operations for Attunity, a Massachusetts-based company that he led to become a global supplier of back-office e-business integration and B2B infrastructure software. Previously, Fisch was an executive at Computervision, where he rose to the level of Division President, establishing strategic alliances with such leaders as ICL, Xerox and AT&T. Fisch's extensive background also includes executive positions at major players such as Prime Computer and McDonnell Douglas.
