Yippy, Inc. (YIPI) Hires Ex-IBM Executive as Chief Operating
Officer
FORT MYERS, FL--(Marketwired - Oct 30, 2013) - Yippy, Inc. (OTC
Pink: YIPI) (www.yippy.com) ("Yippy" or the "Company"), a unified
search company known for its search clustering technology, "Big
Data" consolidation and eDiscovery tools, announced today that it
hired Errol F. Walsh as the Company's Chief Operating Officer and
appointed Mr. Walsh to the Company's Board of Directors, effective
immediately.
Mr. Walsh worked at IBM for 31 years, ending his career in an
executive management role, responsible for a group of more than
7000 employees and an operating budget of 1.2 billion dollars prior
to his retirement in 1993. After retiring from IBM, Errol served as
the Chief Executive Officer of Technology Support Corp. ("TSC")
until 2006. TSC was a contracted IBM consulting firm, responsible
for the integration of all SAP modules together with the IT
deliverables that created the IBM Fulfillment SAP Project. This
project encompassed the prototype phase, validation of the
prototype and the integration testing of newly developed systems
and processes. Mr. Walsh most recently served as a chief consultant
for Axiom Consulting, LLC ("Axiom"), until 2009. At Axiom, Mr.
Walsh worked with applications development and project management
to set up support for end users for major corporations such as
Fluor and SAP.
"I believe Yippy's strategy of interconnecting software
internally developed and acquired into the cloud through their
Enterprise Application Services Environment (EASE) platform is a
game changer. In over forty years in the IT industry, I have never
seen such a ground-breaking product which I believe can out-perform
the majors head to head, with functionalities far above those of
Oracle, IBM, SAP or Microsoft. My role is to take Yippy from
prototype stage to full operations," said Mr. Walsh.
He continued, "My next goal is to get Rich and his team in front
of as many IT executives as I can though my connections in the
industry. I believe that Rich Granville sees things that other do
not, and in my opinion is the most diligent and tactical man I have
ever met. I came out of retirement to be a part of what I believe
to be the most innovative technology team in the IT industry. The
sky is the limit for this company."
"We welcome Errol who over the last four years has become a
trusted business advisor," stated Richard Granville, Chief
Executive Officer of Yippy, Inc. "Our EASE platform recently beat
both HP-Autonomy and Google Enterprise in a head-to-head proof of
concept pilot program with a major multinational company, and Errol
was instrumental in getting Yippy's foot in the door. The Company
has demonstrated the ESSO (Enterprise Single Sign On) aspects of
EASE tied to Microsoft Active Directory for access authentication.
We believe there is no other company that possesses both ESSO for disparate program
access and "Big Data" consolidation for disparate database
unification without the need to change anything except the access
point for the enterprise."
Mr. Granville continued, "We believe that EASE will set the
standard for the next generation of enterprise software solutions.
We have one multinational corporation under a development contract
and are in discussions with several others for implementation of
our EASE platform. The future is bright for Yippy and we are
excited to have Errol on our team moving forward."
