Kaseya appoints Prakash Khot as CTO

Kaseya, provider of IT service management software, has appointed Prakash Khot as its chief technology officer (CTO).

Prakash will lead the Kaseya team of engineers on the design, development and release of next-generation IT service management software and cloud offerings to fit the specific needs of MSPs and enterprise companies.

As a senior technology executive and serial entrepreneur, he brings 20 years of technology industry experience and success to Kaseya, including delivering market-leading cloud collaboration solutions.

Prior to joining Kaseya, Prakash was the senior VP of engineering at Salesforce leading the Big Data and Analytics, as well as the real-time collaboration efforts. Earlier, he was the founding CTO of Dimdim and AIM, acquired by Salesforce and CA, respectively.

"We are extremely pleased to welcome Prakash to our executive team, a seasoned technology veteran with proven leadership and track record in IT management, cloud and social solutions," said Yogesh Gupta, CEO at Kaseya. "With Prakash leading our engineering organization, we expect to accelerate our pace of innovation, increase agility, improve quality and further extend the market leadership of our award-winning family of IT service management technologies, now in use by over 10,000 customers worldwide."

This new executive appointment comes on the heels of the acquisitions by Kaseya of Zyrion, and Rover Apps, LLC, both announced last month.

"The advent of social, mobile and cloud computing technologies have redefined everything in the digital world. It has opened up unprecedented possibilities and transformed the way end users interact with their devices and applications. IT management processes and systems need to embrace this brave new world," said Khot. "I'm thrilled to be part of Kaseya at this exciting juncture and hope to help lead the transformation."
