Thriving UK software house JSB Computer Systems Ltd, Macclesfield, Cheshire, is getting enough stateside business for its Multiview family of Unix and MS-DOS windowing environments that it is taking itself off to Scotts Valley, California, where a US operation will be up and running shortly. JSB has poached the Santa Cruz Operation Inc’s former director of product marketing, Carl Koppel, to head the unit, which is located on the opposite side of the street from the headquarters of hungry Borland International Inc. Koppel will be joined by JSB’s UK OEM sales manager, Nick Outteredge: JSB managing director Steve Jones says the operation will have a complement of nine by the end of its first year. Initially the operation will focus on working more closely with manufacturers competing in the channels on contracts. Then it’ll turn its attention to the non-aligned systems integrators and setting up its own distribution network. JSB is rolling out version 3.1 of its Multiview Desktop product this week.
