For the last two years, it has been no secret that Zenith Infotech has experienced its share of headlines discussing its current financial situations. It was first noted in October 2011 that the company had defaulted on $85 million in foreign currency convertible bonds. Now, just last week, The Economic Times of India (Zenith is based in Mumbai, but has U.S. headquarters outside of Pittsburgh, PA) reported that the “Bombay High Court has admitted the winding-up petition (meaning an order has been sought to put a company into compulsory liquidation) filed by foreign lenders. In addition, the article said that the court has appointed an advocate as a provisional liquidator.

About a month or so ago, it was reported that Maurice Saluan, had stepped down from his position as VP of Sales at Zenith Infotech. I spoke with Saluan following the news, and he told me that he was in talks with a few companies, but was waiting for the best opportunity to come along. 

Well now, today, Maurice informed us that he has joined EmeCloud as VP of Sales. The Bradenton, FL-based company partners with IT Service Providers worldwide to help them capitalize on Cloud Computing opportunities; this could be a small, 5 user-environment to hundreds of users in multiple locations. EmeCloud’s clients enjoy the benefits of a unified solution where they can access their data in the cloud from anywhere.
