Paul Melmon
Joins Wily as Vice President of Research and Development
Burlingame, CA - July 9, 2001 - Wily Technology, Inc. (www.wilytech.com),
the emerging leader in Web Application Management, today
announced the appointment of Paul Melmon as vice president
of research and development. In his new role at Wily, Melmon
will oversee the strategic direction and implementation of
all engineering and QA activities for the company.
Melmon brings an extensive background in engineering to
Wily. He previously served as interim vice president of engineering
at Saltare, a leading provider of supply chain management
solutions, where he was responsible for the development of
all technology and engineering strategy. He also served as
CIO at Pets.com where he was instrumental in defining and
developing the company's technology and operations infrastructure.
Formerly, Melmon worked as an entrepreneur-in-residence at
Sutter Hill Ventures and also held engineering and management
positions at Wallop Software, Scopus Technology, Sybase and
Hewlett-Packard.
"We are thrilled to be adding Paul to the Wily team," said
Lewis Cirne, founder and CEO of Wily. "Throughout his
career, he has consistently placed himself at the forefront
of high-tech innovation and thus is extremely well suited
to help Wily continue delivering leading-edge Java-based
performance management solutions such as Introscope. We welcome
Paul and look forward to having him drive the continuous
improvement of our software and customer satisfaction."
"This is an outstanding opportunity for me," said
Melmon. "As J2EE quickly becomes the standard for deploying
high-performance technology solutions, Wily is in a unique
position to experience considerable growth. In addition to
meeting the increasing need for component-level monitoring
of mission-critical live production applications, Wily is
poised to expand its expertise and leadership role in performance
management as the use of Java-based technology expands into
other areas such as Web services, Web transactions and wireless
Web applications."
Unlike other performance solutions that monitor applications
from the outside, Wily's Introscope is a comprehensive solution
that manages the entire system by analyzing performance from
within the application itself. By working from the inside
out, Introscope manages the performance of third party Java
code (i.e. application servers), JDBC database, distributed
requests (RMI and CORBA) and can pinpoint performance bottlenecks
whether emanating from an internal Java application component
(Servlet, EJB, method) or caused by an external interface
such as the security server or database.
