A global provider of application lifecycle management (ALM) solutions, Seapine Software, Inc., announced today that sales and support for the Benelux region will now be handled through its UK office.

Seapine acquired the business from a UK distributor, Xeau Limited, who over the past five years has established a significant Seapine Benelux presence.

Vice president worldwide sales, Seapine Software, Kevin P. Stewart, stated: "We are grateful to Xeau Limited for their dedication to our solutions." He added: "Their hard work has helped position us to make this move."

In August 2007 Seapine established a UK office, and increasing sales and support over the past twelve months prompted the consolidation of the UK and Benelux regions. The region will be managed by Seapine's business development manager for the UK, Ashley Agar.

Stewart declared: "This reallocation of resources will ensure that customers in the different European regions receive the highest level of attention and support." He adds: "Mr. Agar has made a significant contribution to increasing sales in the UK, and I’m sure his skills and customer-focused viewpoint will help us continue our international growth."
