Software Industry Veteran Joins Mertech as Strategic Advisor

Gilbert Van Cutsem brings a wealth of strategic product management software experience to Mertech

Pembroke Pines, FL 

Mertech, a leading provider of specialty database middleware products and application modernization services, is pleased to announce that Mr. Gilbert Van Cutsem will be joining the company as Strategic Advisor.


Gilbert comes to Mertech with more than 30 years of experience in sales, marketing and product leadership of database technology businesses. He previously served as the General Manager of Pervasive's Database Division, responsible for growing the database business and forming strategic alliances. Since leaving Actian, who acquired Pervasive in 2013, Gilbert has been providing strategic advisory services to software companies focused on database and SaaS technologies.


"I am very excited to have Gilbert join our team", says Riaz Merchant, CEO of Mertech. "We are moving from a PC-centric world to a user-centric world, in which we expect our enterprise software applications to run perfectly and seamlessly on desktops, mobile devices and non-Windows operating systems. However, the investment needed to move desktop applications to a SaaS model is significant. APIs allow companies to move to SaaS, while leveraging their existing code base - Evolution (now Thriftly.io) makes this possible. Gilbert’s deep expertise in our core technologies and markets is just what we need to expand our product footprint."


In his role as Strategic Advisor, Gilbert will be working primarily with the Evolution (now Thriftly.io) product and will help drive Mertech's strategic vision of enabling companies to quickly transition to cloud-based computing. Gilbert brings a breadth of industry knowledge and a proven track record of marketing software products across the globe.


"I am thrilled to bring my years of industry experience to be a part of Mertech's continued global expansion," says Van Cutsem. The combination of Mertech's success as a database middleware solution provider, and now, as a leader in emerging SaaS-driven technologies, makes the company an ideal place for me to contribute."


Evolution (now Thriftly.io) enables C# and Java developers to rapidly and cost-effectively transition existing Windows desktop applications to a service or API-based model. It allows developers to easily convert existing functions in C# or Java programs as APIs, and then exposes these APIs through multiple-protocols, such as SOAP, JSON-RPC and Binary, without rewriting the code to handle these protocols.
