Managed cloud services provider UltraServe has embarked on a sales tour through Asia with hybris software.
UltraServe joined the hybris Extend program last October, as hybris’ only Infrastructure- and Platform-as-a-Service provider.
UltraServe CEO Samuel Yeats will use its alliance with hybris to strengthen the company’s push into Asia, and will discuss new regional projects with an existing client and visit China and Hong Kong.
Yeats said the Asia Pacific region was one of the fastest-growing areas of the world for hybris.
“We’re the only cloud offering-endorsed platform for hybris in this region. We host about 90 per cent of all hybris customers in Australia and New Zealand, so this accelerated drive into Asia represents a terrific opportunity both for us and for hybris,” Yeats said.
UltraServe is building on the strong international acceptance of its SmartStack Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering, which includes clients in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the Americas, with the latest project underway in Brazil for a large global brand. UltraServe has a business development manager on the ground in Asia, and through a partnership with Amazon Web Services has data centres in Japan, China, Singapore and Sydney.
Yeats said international capacity was critical for the company’s planned growth.
“For example, we’ve just launched one New Zealand client into the UK. The plan is for them to roll out to 20 countries with us over the next 20 months. As well as reaching out to new customers with activities like the hybris Global Summit in Munich and this Asian sales tour, we’re building up our internal capacity to meet this international demand.”
