Electrical installation design software publisher the ALPI group is strengthening its management.

Since then, he has been running ALPI''s new Board of Directors consisting of:

- Fabrice Lefébure, Director of Software Development,

- Goran Ostojic, Sales Director, France,

- and Pascal Blanc Tailleur, electrical circuit expert.

In terms of sales, Jean-Marc Lalane''s first mission is to organize and stimulate exports, for which ALPI has recently created two subsidiaries:

- ALPI International Software

- ALPI GmbH (Germany)

ALPI''s founder and current MD Michel Fanet is going to continue as Chairman and will still be involved in technological developments in ALPI software and services.

The Board of Directors will gradually be taking the strategic, financial, and operational decisions to ensure the best possible development for ALPI, pursuing its values as a small business with family-owned capital.

This change comes about at a key moment in the history of ALPI, with the publication of version 5.5 of its flagship Caneco BT software, offering hitherto unequalled competitive performance through more sophisticated integration of the catalogues from electrical equipment manufacturers'', especially ABB, Legrand, and Schneider Electric.
