WALTHAM, Mass. – Nov.
28, 2007 – OATSystems today
announced the promotion of Peg Kastner to
vice president, professional services and
support, effective immediately. In her new
role, Kastner will continue to report to
Michael George, OATSystems’ chief
executive officer, and will be responsible
for leading the company’s professional
services team in implementing solutions
to address customer needs.
“Peg has developed and leads a world-class
professional services team,” commented
George. “They are the knowledgeable,
trusted advisors to our customers, so it’s
critical that they bring value in every interaction
and in making our customers successful at
every step. Peg has brought an already talented
team to a new level in exceeding our customers’ and
the market’s expectations in every way.”
Kastner joined OATSystems in 2006 as senior
director, client services. Since her arrival,
the company’s services group has implemented
several award-winning RFID solutions for its
customers, including Tesco, Target, CVS, Hewlett-Packard
and Kimberly-Clark. With the increasing demand
the company is experiencing, particularly
from industrial manufacturers seeking the
company’s Asset Tracking solutions,
OAT’s professional services group is
playing an increasingly important role in
the company’s success. The company’s
customer base now exceeds 100 and the total
number of site deployments now well exceeds
200. Both of these figures are expected to
escalate significantly in 2008.
“This elevation in Peg’s role
and responsibilities reflects the company’s
growth as well as the emphasis we place on
ensuring our customers’ success with
business-driven RFID deployments,” added
George. “Combined with our proven solutions
and a Services-Oriented Architecture, Peg’s
team enables our customers to RFID-enable
existing processes and applications in less
time, with less risk and at a lower cost.”
Prior to joining OATSystems, Kastner was
responsible for service planning at Kronos,
the leading provider of workforce management
solutions, where she developed and executed
plans to expand the service organization into
new products and services, and improved the
overall efficiency, effectiveness and expertise
of the group. She also led the professional
services organizations at TempoSoft and Interlynx
Technologies, and previously held various
technical and management positions with CGI
Information Systems and Management Consultants.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in computer
