News Release
Olympic Games Venue Technology Manager Joins Pearl
Pearl are pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew Mulvenna as a company director. Andrew previously held the position of Ice Hockey Venue Technology Manager at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Italy.
"Once the Games commenced, everything had to work. Any systems failure would be visible to the world's media and over 4 billion TV viewers. One of the most important parts of the project was testing: we tested, tested and then tested again. I recall watching the athletes during the opening ceremony and thinking...there was nothing more we could do." Mulvenna recalls.
When asked how this experience transferred to Pearl, he replied "The Olympics is similar to a business: it needs a secure, reliable system that works as expected, 24 hours a day. If the system fails, the business of the games is affected. In the same way, Pearl is used by companies to run all aspects of their business. It is mission critical. Any system failure would be disastrous for the client's business. Therefore Pearl must be secure and reliable so clients can depend on it, whilst flexible and scalable so it can meet the demands of fast moving businesses. The only differences between Pearl and the Olympics is that 4 billion people are not watching and that Pearl is used by businesses for years, not just a couple of weeks, as with the Games."
