McQueen Joins Open Systems as Partner Recruitment Manager

Open Systems, a provider of business management and accounting software, announced the appointment of Darlene McQueen as partner recruitment manager. McQueen has 20 years of experience in the accounting software industry, most recently with Accpac International, now part of Best Software. She held the position of business partner account manager for the New England region. She also served as director of sales and marketing at RealWorld Corp., where she was employed for 15 years. In her role at Open Systems, McQueen will be responsible for recruiting and developing a reseller channel for the OSAS and Traverse products. "Open Systems is a refreshing change for the VAR community. With the recent acquisitions and consolidations, I think the VAR community has been forgotten. Many VARs are looking for a place they can call home. My goal with Open Systems is to educate the vast VAR community to one of the industry's best-kept secrets," says McQueen. "What partner doesn't want a product that provides open-source, unlimited-platform support, the best margins in the industry, and a friendly voice at the end of phone? We have partner-friendly programs designed to provide all the key components necessary for a partner to be successful and profitable," she adds.
