Sice has an outstanding track record of success in regional sales management and professional services roles in high growth organisations such as Gartner, Sun, American Express and Dell, working in Australia, the USA and Asia. <\/p>\n
Karl Sice said: \u201cI have joined at a very exciting time in Acronis\u2019 expansion in the region. We have a highly effective local team and a dynamic channel network.

Businesses of all sizes are now operating in an increasingly complex hybrid IT world encompassing physical, virtual and cloud environments. While virtualisation and cloud are enabling cost-effective business development, they are adding another level of complexity to backup and recovery.
