Career
1999-2000: Spotting opportunities at CMS vendor Open Market, Inc.
After a variety of entrepreneurial businesses and independent contracting jobs as architect and web developer, Daniel relocated from the south of Denmark to The Netherlands to take up a position at the American Internet software company Open Market, Inc. Open Market was creating J2EE content-centric eBusiness applications (CMS)
For many months, Daniel travelled around Europe and Africa, integrating and teaching the Open Market product platform to the company’s Business Partners. This was an adventure that extensively enhanced Daniels technical skills, his way of solving complex business needs, -working under changing environments and the way he was creating- and applying to time- and project plans.
2000-2001: Evangelising and teaching Content Management with Open Market
The last year before moving to Australia, Daniel worked as Technology Officer in the International Research and Development Team at Open Market. His responsibilities were, among others, to provide the European and Asian operations with technological, architectural and product assistance and to introduce new technologies to the Dutch and northern European customers and business partners.
2001-2003: Creating Extended Enterprises with divine
In 2001, Open Market was bought by the American software-company divine, inc. (together with 20+ other dot com businesses). The idea of this new company was to offer complete solutions for corporations to enhance interaction and collaboration efforts with customers and partners and create the “Extended Enterprise”. Daniel was still involved with the Content Management software from old Open Market. He relocated with his wife to Australia where he then helped grow the local divine office.
2003-2008: Future Tense Solutions – “The Future of Business”
During the beginning of 2003, divine, inc. and its German holding company (controlling divine Australia) got into serious financial trouble (due to the purchase of RoweCom). The two executive directors of divine Australia and Daniel then obtained the exclusive rights to sell and support the Content Server Enterprise CM platform throughout Australia and New Zealand. They created a privately held company Future Tense Solutions Pty Ltd which would specialise in Enterprise Web Content Management consulting. The company operated successfully for over 4 years with presence in the 3 major states of Australia, implementing innovative websites for leading companies within the retail, finance and entertainment industries. Daniel was lead architect and engagement manager on most of the implementations, spending much time travelling in and around Sydney and Melbourne, working with the different partners and clients.

In late 2008, FatWire Software acquired Future Tense Solutions. Daniel Iversen currently works with FatWire, continuing the success where Future Tense Solutions left off, delivering Web Experience Management (WEM) solutions to companies throughout Australia with his team of consultants and through a strong implementation partner network.
Daniel has multiple responsibilities within FatWire Software, he is responsible for running the company’s services business in the ANZ region and has a growing team of employees reporting to him. He is also acting as the lead architect in the APAC region and is involved in numerous web implementations in the news and media, telecommunications and financial space. Finally, Daniel is also involved in software sales where he is leading the company’s presales efforts locally.
2011-2015: Leading WebCenter Solution Consulting at Oracle
After Oracle’s acquisition and integration of FatWire Software in Sept 2011, Daniel spent 9 months integrating and enabling “FatWire” into Oracle’s APAC Fusion Middleware business. Since the mid- 2012 Daniel took on the role as Senior Manager of Sales Consulting for WebCenter in the APAC region, leading a large organisation with solution-centric presales consultants across the broad WebCenter product portfolio.
2013-2015: Running Strategic Programs @ Oracle
In conjunction with leading WebCenter Sales Consulting from a strategy perspective across APAC, Daniel started heading up the “Strategic Programs” group for the Fusion Middleware portfolio (of which WebCenter was a small part) with the intention of bringing innovation, best practice and pipeline growth around the areas of Mobile, Digital and Cloud.
