SINGAPORE, May 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ASVIDA® Asia, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DeClout Limited, today announces plans to grow its presence as the company targets to become Asia's leading independent supplier and maintenance service provider for data centre IT equipment in the region.
Marking the first wave of ASVIDA® Asia's growth strategy is the expansion of its VIDA365® managed maintenance solution and enhanced capabilities to support more than 15 countries in Asia-Pacific, such as Indonesia, China, Japan and South Korea.
VIDA365® streamlines the IT management process and offers a holistic view of the entire IT infrastructure maintenance from a single contact point. This enables organisations to benefit from substantial cost savings, without compromising its service-level agreements that would generally be enjoyed with the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
ASVIDA® Asia taps on growing demand for IT asset recovery and independent maintenance services
ASVIDA® Asia provides IT asset recovery and independent maintenance services across major OEM platforms, which include Cisco, HP, IBM and Oracle Sun. The company helps small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and enterprise organisations source and procure new-in-box or pre-owned data centre IT equipment, as well as provides independent maintenance services for these equipment. As such, their customers are able to enjoy more than 30 percent cost savings.
The current technology and business landscape is fuelling growth in IT asset recovery and maintenance services. The global data centre infrastructure market is poised to reach US$152 billion by 2016, with Asia-Pacific accounting for a quarter of this investment (Note 1). In addition, continued pressure on IT organisations to introduce cost-cutting initiatives has led to the adoption of IT asset management for higher business productivity, streamlining of IT operations for improved service management, and strategic multi-sourcing (Note 2).
"Although IT asset recovery has seen a strong uptake among organisations in the United States over the past 10 years, it has only recently gained momentum in Asia. With greater awareness of this offering, factors such as the commoditisation of technology services, and a more cautious approach to IT investments, companies are seeing the value of adopting IT asset recovery solutions to drive greater cost-efficiency. However, our key differentiator lies in offering an accompanying suite of services, such as VIDA365®, which simplifies the IT management process. This not only gives businesses cost savings but also flexibility and convenience. After all, it is not about doing different things but doing things differently," said Ms Kow Ya, CEO, ASVIDA® Asia.
Since its inception three years ago, ASVIDA® Asia's business has seen a brisk growth with customers from a variety of sectors, such as banking, finance and insurance, information technology as well as distribution.
ASVIDA® Asia's value proposition and services
With a commitment to breathe life into IT assets, ASVIDA® Asia's IT asset recovery and independent maintenance services enable companies and cloud service providers to optimise the value, performance and life span of their IT infrastructure.
Through the adoption of new-in-box, refurbished or pre-owned equipment, companies can become more cost-efficient and reduce their carbon footprint. In addition, the sourcing and delivery of IT assets through ASVIDA® Asia is a seamless process for customers, supported by a global sourcing network, and a logistics framework based on an advanced inventory management system. This enables their customers to benefit from a faster turnaround of a week, instead of up to four weeks with the services of a systems integrator. Backed by a team of qualified professionals and a world-class 24/7 customer support infrastructure, the delivery of service-level agreements is also assured to customers.
Underscoring ASVIDA® Asia's hardware offerings are its complementary services such as the VIDA365® managed maintenance solution; VIDACloud, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service solution; and other Software and Services. These ensure that further value can be added to business operations.
Through this holistic approach towards IT hardware and support, ASVIDA® Asia has created a complete IT ecosystem that helps customers manage their IT operations and requirements to suit their business and financial needs.
