In our third edition of “Merced goes Global” we travel south to Singapore and our APAC headquarters which covers our operations throughout APAC but specifically Singapore, India, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.
I am actually writing this posting on a flight between Hong Kong and Mumbai.
On the right are a few shots from of our office in Raffles Place.
Our Singapore headquarters serves not only as a sales office, but also as a development center. We are very excited about our partnership with the IDA and the development center we are establishing in Singapore which will enable us to better develop solutions and support customers across Asia Pacific.
Our Singapore team has been busy, working with prospects and customers, supporting existing customers (we are currently in the process of deploying our solutions to our fifth customer in the Philippines) and working with partners across the region to enable them and make them self sufficient selling, deploying and supporting both Merced Performance Suite and Merced Incentive Compensation Management.
A couple weeks ago Merced hosted the Singapore CXO Summit where our team presented on the topics of performance management and business execution in today’s ever-changing world of social, mobile and cloud computing. We had some great discussions about these topics with people from leading organizations including Standard Chartered Bank, UOB, OCBC, StarHub, Maxis, Axa and other.
Here are some pictures of Rana Banerji, our regional sales director for ASEAN and India and Varma Vegesana, our Solution Consultant in APAC, at the conference.
A hot topic at the conference was the recent webinar we held with Sprint about coaching and master coaches where Sprint attributed $450Mn in savings to their Merced deployment. You can find a recording of this webinar here.
We are also excited that we were one of the sponsors on the CCAS award gala in Singapore on October 21. You can find the link to the gala dinner here.
My next post will discuss the Asian Carriers' Conference that we sponsored in Cebu, the Philippines. We had great attendance and meetings at this conference.
