Artis Group hires ex-Marketo lead as software head

Sydney-headquartered solutions provider Artis Group has appointed Martin Sheridan as the new national head of software development.

Sheridan will oversee Artis' whole software application and service portfolio, which includes Microsoft, SAP and AWS products.

The new recruit said he plans to "optimise Artis’ development methodology and foundation architecture to facilitate a move to DevOps and cloud-based hyper-scalable micro-services, to accelerate business and product design decisions".

Sheridan says he looks forward the challenges ahead as "not many companies embrace changes too well".

Artis' new software development head has 30 years of experience in software strategy and development. He has worked across different segments, with experience in financial, telecommunications and software development companies.

Sheridan was Marketo Asia-Pacific's lead technical consultant. In that role, according to the Artis Group, he conceived, developed and launched a SaaS integration product for the company, contributing to $2 million in opportunities, renewals and professional services.
