Gilles Auchere

Graduated in Computer Science Technology, Gilles experienced working for an OEM before joining Europe Computer Systems (ECS) in 1986, first as Field Engineer and subsequently as a Technical Support Specialist. In the early 1990s he was personally involved in the creation and promotion of the Mainframe support business, a time when he became aware of the growing criticality of IT Systems, especially in large, multi-platform Accounts.

Gilles was instrumental in developing the Multi-vendor Business for ECS and launched Proactive Services aimed at providing further value added support beyond just standard hardware and software maintenance. In 2010 Econocom acquired ECS and Gilles became involved in Business Development, a role ideally suited to his critical and analytic nature.

Having worked in the Industry for over thirty years, Gilles has acquired a great knowledge of OEMs practices and policies, knowledge he is always pleased to share with his Customers or peers. His personal motto of “No Citadel is Impregnable” belies his tenacious attitude in a belief that there is no such thing as an insurmountable problem, an attitude that is invaluable in the trials and tribulations that lie before us all.
