Local Team to Service Growing Customer Base in Asia Pacific Region

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Abiquo, the leading Enterprise Cloud software company, today announced the opening of a new sales and support center in Melbourne, Australia, adding to its existing office network across the U.S. and Europe.

Headed up by Alun Carp, Abiquo's Melbourne-based director of customer support, the new center will service Abiquo's growing customer and partner base throughout the Asia Pacific region, not only providing local time zone support for customers in China, Japan and Australia, but also in conjunction with Abiquo's support centers in the U.S. and Europe, allowing 24-hour "follow the sun" customer support without requiring duty staff to be on-call outside of normal business hours.

"The opening of the new center clearly demonstrates Abiquo's commitment to the region," said Josh Rubens, managing director for Cloud Solutions Group, a leading cloud reseller and consulting partner in Australia. "Given the volume of demand for cloud solutions in the region, we are pleased to be working with a vendor that can support its partners and customers locally."

"We are very pleased that Abiquo will now have support in the Far East time zone," said Masaaki Matsuzawa, executive vice-president, Telecommunication Systems Group, CTC, one of Abiquo's premiere resellers for Japan. "We continue to see considerable interest in the Abiquo solution, and this will be very helpful in further growing our existing Abiquo customer base."
