Singapore-based IT firm to pour investments in RP

CEBU, Philippines - A Singapore based company dealing with distribution of IT products and value-added IT services is starting the year with capital investments in the Philippines looking into the Small and Medium Enterprise as a strong market.

Thakral Group, a multinational conglomerate that operates in 35 countries worldwide is strengthening its presence in the country by showing their interest on giving their services to the business sector.

According to the Thakral Group Director for global business and technology services and raffles solutions CEO Bikram Singh Thakral “Philippine business owners today are more sophisticated and discerning in choosing the right IT-related service provider for their business, despite the challenge to maintain operational efficiency given the limited funding for IT.”

This is the reason that Thakral, through their subsidiaries will aid the common concerns of businesses and entrepreneurs in terms of enterprise resource planning from Microsoft Dynamics, LS Retail for the retail industry and ZAP, a business intelligence (BI) solutions with seamless integration to ERP, as well as IT infrastructure management, including end-to-end IT products and services said Thakral.

After starting their operations in the country in 1997 through its flagship company, Technopaq Philippines, the company has seen the strong market in the country as well as in other parts of Asia like Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, India, and Bangladesh .

In the Philippines , Thakral has formed strategic partnerships with big IT companies such as IBM, Microsoft and Oracle.

This has a positive result for Technopaq Inc. which became the market leader in IT technology. —AJ de la Torre
