After 15 years working in technical and sales management roles in the IBM community, Nick founded the first value added reseller for SAP UK in 1996 and grew this business to £7M turnover over 4 years, after selling the business in 2000 Nick decided to retire and renovate a house in France. After completing the restoration work in 2002 he decided to come back in to the SAP market founding the Proceed Group both in the UK and USA specialising in PLM, Data and Document Management. 2005 saw the USA arm grow to $8M turnover and Nick generously gave 51% of the company to the employees in order to drive the growth even faster. In 2008 Nick with some other likeminded individuals decided to create a dedicated SAP Archiving Business in the UK Proceed Archiving Solutions. With Nick’s expertise and foresight Proceed Group have continued to grow internationally, with new services within the HANA marketplace enabling SAP HANA customers to reap the benefits of the new technology whilst controlling TCO through SAP Best Practice Data Management.
