BELLEVUE - Attachmate, the state's second-largest software company, has named William Boisvert president, expanding the duties he now holds as chief financial officer and executive vice president.

Boisvert (pronounced boy-VAIR) will continue as CFO but will add responsibilities for sales, marketing and other functions. He moved to Attachmate 2 1/2 years ago from Paccar, where he spent seven years as CFO and executive vice president.
