The American IT and communications giant Cisco has opened a new office in Singapore as the headquarters of its wider Asia Pacific, Japan and Greater China operations.
Cisco is among the largest companies of its kind in the world and its launch of a new office in Singapore coincides with the 20th anniversary of its first office opening in the country.
Sales, marketing, human resources and finance departments for the Asia-Pacific are to be based out of Cisco’s new Singapore offices as it aims to expand the scale on which it supplies IT equipment to businesses and other organisations across the region.
The Asia Pacific HQ will be an operating base for close 1,000 Cisco employees as it brings together a local workforce that was until recently spread across four different offices across the island. The site chosen for the consolidated office base was the UE Biz Hub, which forms part of the Changi Business Park.
“Singapore stands out as a shining model in the world of what can be achieved by an economy through information and communications technologies (ICT),” said Gary Moore, Cisco’s president and chief operating officer.
“Singapore’s vision is very much aligned with Cisco’s especially when it comes to Internet and education, two of the great equalizers in life. These have formed the foundation for Singapore’s success and Cisco is proud to have played a role in both of them,” he added.
Cisco explains that when it first came to be established in offices in Singapore back 1994, the country as a whole was just getting to grips with the internet and its potential as a business and an educational tool. These days Singapore is one of the most economically important cities in Asia and one of the most technologically advanced in the world.
