Wordwatch has announced the appointment of William Davenport as its new Managing Director.
With his extensive experience in the sector, specifically through his 12-year tenure at Business Systems Ltd, William is poised to drive Wordwatch’s strategic growth initiatives. His prior role as Chief Sales Officer saw him significantly enhance the brand’s market presence through key client acquisitions and the development of Wordwatch’s dedicated channel partner program.
Wordwatch specializes in integrating voice and digital communications data to streamline compliance management and reduce regulatory risks. The firm is at the forefront of helping regulated organisations modernise their compliance infrastructure, particularly as market demands and regulatory requirements evolve.
William Davenport brings a wealth of industry knowledge and a proven track record from his time with Business Systems Ltd. His deep insights into market dynamics and the regulatory landscape have prepared him well for leading Wordwatch’s future growth. He is committed to expanding the firm’s compliance-focused solutions, emphasizing efficiency and simplicity through its global channel partnerships.
Wordwatch stands out in the compliance and archiving industry due to its channel-only model, which will remain central to its strategy under William’s leadership. This model facilitates the deepening of relationships with channel partners, crucial for driving performance and customer satisfaction.
Additionally, the market research underscores the necessity of Wordwatch’s offerings, revealing that many organisations still grapple with fragmented legacy systems that complicate compliance processes and increase operational risk. William’s appointment follows the strategic decision to establish Wordwatch as a standalone brand, a move aimed at sharpening its focus and leveraging its core competencies more effectively.
“I am excited to lead Wordwatch through its next phase of growth. Having been part of Wordwatch’s journey from the start, I understand the market dynamics and the immense potential we have to innovate and expand our compliance-focussed solution. We will deepen our focus on delivering best-in-class communications governance solutions through our global channel partners, driving performance and supporting their customers in replacing risk and regulatory burden with efficiency and simplicity,” confirms William Davenport.
Adds Mike Wardell, CEO of Business Systems: “William’s expertise has been fundamental to Wordwatch’s success since its inception. His deep understanding of the market and proven track record in driving growth and customer success make him the ideal person to take Wordwatch forward. With his leadership, we have big goals to expand and build stronger relationships with our channel partners. I am confident that William will lead Wordwatch into a new era of growth and innovation.”
