Launch of AP operations based in Sydney.

Email and web management company Email Systems has launched a new regional operation based in Sydney to deliver the company's technology to businesses in the Asia Pacific region. The company is investing over $2 million in the Asia Pacific region, including the roll out of fully redundant data centres in Australia and Hong Kong. The launch of Email Systems' Asia Pacific office follows the recent opening of offices in the Netherlands and Scandinavia.

Charles Heunemann has been appointed Managing Director, Email Systems Asia Pacific, effective immediately. He was previously Co-founder of SurfControl Asia Pacific, which under his leadership achieved a 43 percent compound annual growth rate, a market share of 40 percent, and ranking among the top 10 security software vendors in the region.

According to IDC, the Asia Pacific enterprise ICT outsourcing and managed services market totaled US$23.3 billion in 2006 and is expected to reach US$36.2 billion by 2012. Much of this growth is being driven by the pursuit of higher performance and more cost effective alternatives to traditional software and appliance-based secure content management products.
