FalconStor Opens APAC Regional Office in Singapore

FalconStor Software, Inc. announced the opening of the company’s Asia Pacific (APAC) regional headquarters in Singapore.

FalconStor currently has offices in Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, and Australia.

"FalconStor has experienced growth throughout APAC due to the wide acceptance of FalconStor’s award-winning data protection and recovery solutions, and we expect it to be a key driver of the company’s future growth," said Jim McNiel, president and CEO of FalconStor. "Our investment in the Singapore office demonstrates our commitment to our regional channel partners, to their customers and to the APAC business community at large."

Because of its infrastructure and strong trade links, Singapore is an ideal location for FalconStor to grow its share of the APAC market for data protection, replication and recovery.

Spearheaded by Suresh Nair, GM and VP of sales and marketing of AsiaPac for FalconStor, the new Singapore headquarters will coordinate and support initiatives in APAC countries. The office establishes a company presence to meet the demand for data protection and recovery solutions; and it offers local and regional sales support and resources, including:

• A sales operations center that houses the local sales team and technology experts as well as regional financial, human resources and IT support functions.
• Training facilities for partners to upgrade their skill.
• A new solutions center for partners to demonstrate products and to stage complex solution designs for customers.

"The new Singapore office significantly enhances our sales operations in APAC," said Suresh Nair. "In addition to our core set of sales support services, the office provides customers the ability to test our solutions before they make a buying decision. Ultimately, our active presence in Singapore will help us build stronger relationships with our partners and customers, which will strengthen our leadership in the region."
