SCOTT DRUERY, CITECT, MANAGING DIRECTOR SOUTH EAST ASIA

Citect Asia has had a remarkable start since opening the Singapore office in 2006, with 178 percent growth in revenues year-on-year, and a solid SCADA & automation sales pipeline built. Pleasingly, we had signifi cant success of the two-brand SCADA strategy: CitectSCADA and Vijeo Citect (designed specifi cally for the Schneider Electric Group). Sales of both groups have grown, and have increased our market penetration and presence right across Asia.

2008 will see us expand again with major investments in services and support staff, so that we are maximizing customer and partner channel satisfaction locally. We have also aligned Asia with our Global Citect Integration Partner programs, the highlight being a Global Partner Conference to be held in April 2008 in Hungary.
