Former Phoenix Business Systems Global PMO Manager joins to help drive rapid expansion of Umbria and Milan IG
Prosperoware, a leading enterprise software company delivering innovative technology transforming the business of legal and professional services, today announces the appointment of Sharon Cannon as Solutions Consultant, EMEA.
On the heels of a record-breaking growth year, Sharon’s leadership will provide exceptional expertise for the company’s rapid expansion in the EMEA region, supporting sales and implementations of the company’s innovative, enterprise class platform, Umbria, as well as that of the market-leading confidentiality management and ethical wall solution, Milan IG.
Prosperoware experienced tremendous growth in 2016, and that trajectory continues. Company customers now total over 270 law firms in the US, EMEA and Asia-Pac, including 64% of the Am Law 100 and over half of the Am Law 200 and G20. Remarkably, 2016 saw the enterprise class Umbria platform double its customer-base and is in use by law firms ranging in size from just under 100 to well over 2000 lawyers; the company’s confidentiality management and ethical wall solution, Milan InfoGov, saw 50% growth during the same.
Well-known and regarded in international markets, Sharon has led successful project implementations for some of the most distinctive law firms and accountancies in UK, EU & Asia-Pac. With more than 15 years of enterprise software consulting, implementation and project management experience, Sharon was most recently Global Project Management Office (PMO) Manager for a global software and consultancy firm where she had project oversight internationally.
John Kenyon, Vice President of Sales at Prosperoware, comments, “We’re pleased to welcome Sharon to the Prosperoware team and look forward to her contributions as the company’s growth accelerates globally.
