ARCAD Software, developer of solutions that manage change and modernize business applications in the IBM i environment, has announced establishment of an Asia-Pacific office in Singapore. Opened officially on July 1, the Asia-Pacific headquarters is part of ARCAD's global strategy, and it illustrates the importance that the company places on this market.
The Singapore office will sell ARCAD's range of software management products, and provide technical support for the company's Asia-Pacific clients.
"Formalizing a local presence is a strategic decision to capitalize on emerging opportunities across the region," says ARCAD CEO and Chairman Philippe Magne. "As a regional hub for Asia, Singapore is the ideal choice for the location of our Asia-Pacific headquarters."
The move positions ARCAD as a global provider of application lifecycle management solutions based around the IBM i and supports its industry leadership role.
Magne reiterated his plans for expansion in Asia and worldwide: "In terms of growth, we are continually reviewing this region and other areas in which multi-national enterprises require multi-platform application management capabilities. For these companies, our integrated, repository-based offering has a strong advantage," he said.
Founded in 1992, with roots in the European Space Agency, ARCAD has developed an integrated range of solutions for managing application change, quality control, and reliability of deployment in and around the IBM System i environment. Its software suite includes lifecycle management, application mining, test automation, and helpdesk modules that support companies that are updating and modernizing their critical business applications.
The address of the new ARCAD office and its telephone numbers are as follows:
Level 15 Prudential Tower
30 Cecil Street
Singapore 049712
Tel: +65.6232.2871
