FutureIT Announces New Direction for the Future of the Company LOD, Israel, Sept. 15, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FutureIT
Inc. (Other OTC:FITI.PK - News), a leading provider of software solutions
for the automated and effective management of Microsoft
SQL servers, today announced that the Board of Directors
will make a number of changes regarding the future direction
of the Company. Mr. Shmuel Bachar, the company's Chairman of the Board, will assume the responsibilities of acting CEO. Concurrently, Mr. Nimrod Zahavi, the Company's current CEO, will be leaving the FutureIT to pursue other opportunities. Mr. Zahavi will remain with the Company for up to 60 days to assist with the transition until its completion. The Board of Directors thanks Mr. Zahavi for his work and wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavors. In other related personnel issues, Ms. Fiona Rosenberg-Niddam joined the FutureIT team two months ago as International Sales Director. Since she has joined the Company, Ms. Rosenberg-Niddam has expanded sales in the United Kingdom and recruited new resellers in other territories. Ms. Rosenberg is optimistic that international sales in the fourth quarter of 2008 will further increase as a result of her efforts. In addition, the Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Michael Shtarkman as Director of Sales for the Israeli market. Mr. Shtarkman joined FutureIT eight months ago, and has played a substantial role in the company's recent momentum and increased awareness in the Israeli market. Mr. Shtarkman stated, ``FutureIT will continue to play a leading role in the Israeli market with growth measured in terms of market penetration and in technological advances.'' Commenting on the new direction for FutureIT, Mr. Shmuel Bachar said, ``The main near-term goal continues to be penetration of the North American market. As the world's largest and most important market, FutureIT needs to succeed in the U.S.; and to meet this goal, management will focus its time, energy and manpower on becoming a leading player in the U.S. market.'' In addition to the above changes, the Company plans to raise additional funds for these ongoing expansion activities through the issuance of convertible debentures. Until the new funding has been finalized, Viscount Nicolas Bearsted and the DataSafe Group, two of the Company's shareholders, have announced that they will provide an interim credit line of $300,000. Mr. Bachar concluded, ``These new appointments coupled with the credit line and the planned raising of additional funds will allow the company to continue to grow in the markets where they already have a strong presence, and to expand in new markets, the United States in particular.''
