VMware opens new Melbourne office

Growth and morale catalyse development

Virtualisation powerhouse, VMware, has opened its second Australian office in Melbourne.

The vendor has about 35 staff operating in Victoria, but previously it worked out of serviced offices.

VMware Australia and New Zealand managing director, Paul Harapin, said an 'official' office would help facilitate growth into the future, and improve morale among workers.

"We have no specific growth targets, but Sydney and Melbourne are our two biggest markets at a Government level and in terms of leading commercial businesses," Harapin said.

Although the vendor has headcount in every Australian state, it has a tipping point that needs to be reached before establishing a new office is economically viable, he said.

Of the Australian cities, Brisbane has VMware's next largest presence. Wellington in New Zealand would be the next likely candidate for an office, Harapin said.

Nominations for the 2012 ARN IT Industry Awards open on Tuesday, June 12.

Great, maybe they will have an account manager that calls customers back.
Must be great to work for a company where sales relates to fighting to be front of the fax machine queue.
