Heroix Management Team

Howard Reisman

Chairman of the Board and Founder

 Mr. Reisman is a Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude graduate of Brown University, where he earned degrees in mathematics and in economics. He founded Heroix shortly after he graduated.

Initially, he focused the company on designing and developing custom business software. This venture grew into the highly successful Quantum line, which was then spun off as a separate business. The company also ran one of the first and largest VMS data centers in the country.

Mr. Reisman's next project helped define the current systems management software industry. The result, RoboMon®, would become the first application performance management software solution marketed by an ISV for Unix, Windows NT/2000, and OpenVMS environments. Mr. Reisman also designed the successor product to RoboMon, Heroix eQ®.

More recently, Mr. Reisman, from a clean sheet of paper, conceived of the groundbreaking design and then spearheaded the development of the next generation Heroix product platform, Heroix Longitude®. Heroix Longitude is powerful, elegant, and designed with a particular emphasis on reducing customer costs in all phases of the software lifecycle.

 

Rick Lane

President

Mr. Lane was named president of Heroix in 2002, having already served as COO for four years. He joined Heroix initially to lead the operations and finance areas. Subsequently, as V.P. of Marketing, Mr. Lane played a pivotal role in establishing Heroix as a leading vendor in the monitoring and management software market. As COO, he has advanced the company's corporate growth strategies and drove the evolution of the Heroix product set from single-platform, departmental offerings to integrated, multi-platform, enterprise-wide solutions.

Prior to joining Heroix, Mr. Lane was V.P. of Operations for Apparel Retail Corporation. There he spearheaded the computerization and automation of the company's warehouse, distribution, and retail operations, and grew the organization from a $10 million to a $250 million enterprise. He then went on to establish and operate his own realty trust, which managed the construction and sales of residential and commercial properties, until Heroix recruited him to join its management team.

Mr. Lane is a cum laude graduate of Tulane University.
