SYSTIMAX Solutions™, the worldwide leader in structured connectivity solutions, today announced it will be opening its Bangalore Executive Briefing Center (EBC) next month. According to SYSTIMAX Solutions, the new EBC in Bangalore will be the company’s third such facility to be opened in the Asia Pacific region, after Brisbane (Australia), and Shanghai (China), which was inaugurated last week.
At a media briefing held in Bangalore today, Mr. Randall Crenshaw, CommScope’s Executive Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise, told reporters that the opening of the company’s EBC in Bangalore is an affirmation of the company’s commitment and faith in the potential of India as the next global economic powerhouse.
SYSTIMAX Solutions’ EBC in Bangalore will serve as a location for customers, BusinessPartners and media to learn first-hand about the end-to-end connectivity solutions – copper, fiber, patching and wireless offerings – available to support an enterprise organization’s long-term IT infrastructure requirements. It also provides visitors with the opportunity to take a detailed tour of the SYSTIMAX Solutions’ facility and to have a first-hand look at the actual processes and production of the company’s cabling solutions.
At the EBC, some of the latest world class technologies and products that visitors can expect to view include the SYSTIMAX GigaSPEED® X10D Solution, the 10G UTP cabling solution representing the latest trends in copper technology; iPatch® System for real time data center infrastructure management; the high density VisiPatch® System and the pre-terminated fiber connectivity solutions of InstaPATCH® Plus and G2 System that are designed for data center connectivity.
Mr. Crenshaw said, “India plays a very key role in our global business strategy. Globally, it is already one of our largest markets and one of the fastest growing as well. We strongly believe that India offers us the right opportunity and platform to consolidate our market leadership in the Asia Pacific region.”
The Indian technology market is also expected to show impressive growth rates. According to a recent report by IDC, the India IT market grew at 24% in 2003, providing tremendous opportunities for IT and telecom vendors and service providers. In 2003, India was ranked as the 21st highest IT spender and it is expected to move up to 14th position in 2008.
Dr. Ispran Kandasamy, Vice President and Managing Director of Asia Pacific for SYSTIMAX Solutions added, “The opening of the new EBC in Bangalore is an affirmation of our commitment to build a stronger presence in this market and support the growth of India. With the opening of our EBC in Bangalore and the expansion of our team in this market, we are now able to extend our reach and provide even greater value-add to our customers in India.”
