The company grew at more than 40 per cent rate in Asia Pacific in FY08-09, on the back of robust new business wins and growing customer engagements in every market in the region, company sources said.
According to the communications firm, it invested US$200 million in Asia during the last two years into developing a world-class, next-generation multi-service platform (MSP) capability in the region and to grow its portfolio of value-added telecommunications solutions for customers across Asia.
The results of its investments are being paid off now. In the first six months of this year, the company added 15 new customers to its roster, including Li&Fung, OOCL (out of North Asia) and Infoplex, Strategic Systems Solutions and Tullett Prebon (out of Southeast Asia). There was also growth in its business in Asia with existing customers including Tesco and Regus as well as carrier customers Bharti, BSNL, Telekom Malaysia and Softbank Telecom, according to the company.
It also announced that it has set up a Business Solutions Lab in Singapore to demonstrate its suite of telecommunications solutions to customers and prospects in the region.
"The new Asia Pacific Business Solutions Lab has been designed as a proof-of-concept centre for simulation, testing and development of value-added network propositions--including application performance management and managed voice and video solutions," said the communications company. "The lab has a unique remote access capability, enabling customers, partners and colleagues from across the world to view and experience the business solutions in a controlled environment, in real-time. The lab will also be used as a certification training centre for partners and colleagues as well as for new product development."
