Re-branding brings together the core competencies of ICONZ and Webvisions under one name
SINGAPORE, Oct. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ICONZ-Webvisions, the only Asia-centered Cloud and managed hosting provider serving Asia, Australasia and the global market, today announced the unveiling of its new corporate brand identity. Previously known as Webvisions in Singapore, ICONZ-Webvisions will focus on cloud hosting services and target the mid-tier enterprise as its key market. The new identity consolidates existing cloud products and services from ICONZ in Auckland, New Zealand and Webvisions under a single unified brand and includes a new company logo, tagline and a redesigned website http://www.iconz-webvisions.com/.
ICONZ-Webvisions is majority-owned by Caledonian International Limited, a privately-held New Zealand company, which first invested in Webvisions in 2006. Headquartered in Singapore and boasting a track record of more than 20 years, ICONZ-Webvisions currently employs about 200 staff and has multiple hosting presence in more than 15 cities across seven countries - Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, mainland China, Malaysia and India. The company now operates data centers across the region, serving more than 600 customers in Cloud hosting and managed services.
"The re-brand represents our company's evolution and is a logical step in transforming our business further. By pulling together our Cloud capabilities, we can deliver consistent service and a seamless experience to our customers, wherever they may be in the region," says Ms. Poh Mui Hoon, Group Chief Executive Officer of ICONZ-Webvisions.
"We have always been serving the mid-tier enterprise and are now in a stronger position to attend to their specific needs with Cloud technologies and to provide the quality, performance and flexibility of service, all of which are important to our mid-tier enterprise customers. Mid-tier enterprises face the challenge of having to compete with bigger players, without being able to hire the best IT talent," added Ms. Poh.
Ms. Poh, who was appointed Group CEO in January this year, leads the company's new management team, comprising Mr. Roly Smoldon, Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand, Mr. Dennis Wee, Country Manager for Singapore and Malaysia, Ms. Tracy Zhou, Country Manager for Greater China, Ms. Stacy Seah, Vice President of Group Marketing, Mr. Peter Hendry, Chief Technology Officer and Mr. Andy Chun, Group Financial Controller.
The company's new tagline "Smarter, Sharper and Safer" further embodies ICONZ-Webvisions' vision of empowering enterprise customers and becoming their trusted business partner in the region. Among the portfolio of solutions, the iW Cloud infrastructure offers Compute-as-a-Service enabling enterprises to outsource application workloads to the Cloud to enjoy better economies of scale and performance and Storage-as-a-Service, which uses the Cloud for secure off-site backup, protecting valuable business critical data and ensuring business continuity. iW Cloud offers scalability, security and high availability and is designed to deliver the high levels of business efficiency that enterprise customers require, while reducing costs and increasing their speed to market.
The new brand identity will also see ICONZ-Webvisions partnering with leading vendors such as Hewlett Packard (HP) in their cloud infrastructure, VMware in virtualization and Microsoft to integrate Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) on the Cloud. With the adoption of its new brand, ICONZ-Webvisions will continue to innovate to meet the changing business needs of enterprise customers. Over the next 12 months, ICONZ-Webvisions plans to extend its Cloud footprint in Greater China and ASEAN.
