Four former executives from Berbee Information Networks and CDW have joined together to start a new company, Singlewire Software.
Singlewire, based in Madison, Wis., will be led by Paul Shain, former CEO of Berbee and senior vice president at CDW, as president and CEO. The company will focus on building applications for the unified communications and physical security spaces.
In addition to Shain, Ken Bywaters, current practice manager for Berbee Software, will become executive vice president of product management at Singlewire. Greg Sliwicki, former president of Berbee and vice president of sales at CDW, is Singlewire’s executive vice president of sales and marketing. Brett Rimkus, former CFO at Berbee and vice president of business development at CDW, has been named CFO of Singlewire.
Berbee Information Networks was purchased by CDW in October 2006 for $175 million. Singlewire purchased the assets of Berbee Software, which includes the InformaCast family of IP notification applications, back from CDW and intends to enhance the InformaCast platform to include the integration of its notification technology into the physical security space.
