“We are excited to expand our existing service in Asia and, specifically, to bring our own SoftCare offerings to this enormous market,” says Wilfried Pruschak, COMPAREX Chief Executive Officer. “This step is one of many in our pursuit of providing greater support to our multi-national customers. This will grant them access to our global network and portfolio in this region, adding to our existing local branches in China, India and Indonesia.” In addition to its traditional license management offering, COMPAREX will introduce SoftCare to these markets, a cloud-based system that customers use to streamline the procurement, use and management of software products and services. An integral part of SoftCare, SAM2GO (Software Asset Management as a Managed Service) supports companies and users by continuously and precisely recording software inventory and its use. Not only does this minimize risk exposure, it also reduces costs.
Bertrand Launay, Microsoft VP, Small and Mid-Market Solutions & Partners Asia: "This is great news from one of our key global partners, COMPAREX! Microsoft highly appreciates the investments they are making to bring more attention to the Asian market. The tremendous cloud solution and licensing skills of COMPAREX combined with Sebastiens unique understanding and knowledge of the market requirements will be a great value-add to our customers here."
Sebastien Sisombat comments: “I’m thrilled to join the COMPAREX team! Not only is this company on a steady and impressive growth course with subsidiaries in now-34 countries. At the same time it has developed SoftCare, a set of innovative, smart tools that I haven’t seen anywhere else. I’m eager to introduce this revolutionary offering to our customers, both new and existing alike.”
