COPsync Announces Corporate Restructuring and Streamlined Efficiency

DALLAS, April 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- COPsync, Inc. (COYN) today announced a proactive corporate restructuring plan to reduce overhead costs and streamline efficiency. Approximately $1.2 million in initial expense reduction have already been realized, with additional expense reduction anticipated within the next several weeks.

Phil Anderson, acting CFO and interim CEO, explained, "The purpose of the expense reduction is to align our fixed costs with our current revenue and gross profit. These cost savings were realized through headcount reduction with buy-in from departmental heads to ensure that the company can appropriately support our customer base and also execute on our short and long-term sales pipeline."

Under Mr. Anderson's leadership, the Company has also restructured the executive leadership team with the appointment of two professionals to increase experience and expertise in key sales and marketing roles.

COPsync is pleased to welcome Scott Platzer as the new Director of Sales. Mr. Platzer is a former Green Beret and an experienced entrepreneur and software sales executive. Scott will refocus domestic sales efforts on key states and lead the closing of large account prospects.

COPsync has also engaged John Marchese, Managing Partner of Marchese Associates marketing consultants. With a 30+ year track record of building brands and a specialty in B2B technology product and service marketing, Mr. Marchese has served global Fortune 100 enterprises as well as small and medium-sized public and private businesses.

"John will be serving as interim Chief Marketing Officer and a member of the executive leadership team. We welcome John's extensive consulting and management experience to COPsync," Mr. Anderson noted. "His primary responsibilities will include corporate positioning, integrated marketing planning, plan management and execution while supporting Scott and his reorganized sales team."

Mr. Anderson continued, "In addition to reducing overhead costs and increasing Company efficiency, our immediate goals also include the continuing of COPsync expansion in Puerto Rico. Based on the progress of our Puerto Rican team, we anticipate additional contracts in the near future."
