SunGard has established an Asia-Pacific operation, headquartered in Singapore, specifically to distribute company products within the region.
Matt Mandalinci, SunGard Asia-Pacific's president, explains: "SunGard currently serves more than five hundred clients in Asia-Pacific, including many of the region's largest financial institutions. The objective of setting up a distribution and support organisation is to provide additional focus for our international expansion."
With fourteen operating units already offering specialised products in the region, SunGard Asia-Pacific will bring additional resources with local knowledge and expertise, he adds.
The company already has offices in Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Christchurch, Wellington, Hong Kong, and Bangkok. SunGard has also recently opened offices in Beijing and Seoul and plans another in Taipei.
