SaaS-based software testing and delivery specialist Panaya has opened four new offices in Singapore, Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai, to meet a 150 per cent increase in demand for its enterprise agile delivery solutions.
The company has recently signed a number of new customers for its software testing tools, including several Chinese pharmaceutical, consumer electronics and home appliance companies, as well as an international bank and insurance company based in the Philippines.
Rajesh Handu has been appointed the vice president of South East Asia, South Asia, Hong Kong and Korea to help drive growth for Panaya in the region. Previously, he served as managing director of Asia for NICE Systems, building a high-performance team that achieved 25 per cent market growth last year, and successfully closing high-growth strategic accounts.
“I am excited to join Panaya to spread our unique consultative approach that helps IT delivery software changes effectively while introducing new initiatives that create a competitive edge,” Handu said.
“Many Asian companies are going global, and to automate international business processes they need to implement software delivery tools that will enable their enterprise applications to scale up while adapting quickly to business changes,” said Moshe Leder, executive vice president, APAC and Japan.
“Rajesh’s leadership and proven experience in addressing custom needs and building long-term business relationships in the region will help Panaya grow its regional business.”
