TmaxSoft has a breakthrough year in ASEAN

TmaxSoft, a multinational infrastructure software company, has announced customer acquisitions in the large enterprise segment, public sector penetration, and access to future relational database technology tenders in ASEAN over the year. 

Recent client acquisitions include a telco in Thailand, a credit reporting agency in Malaysia, and Singapore institutions. TmaxSoft has been recognised as a contender for government tenders related to relationship database management systems (RDBMS) with its Tibero enterprise database, a space that used to be dominated by a handful of legacy players. The company is now servicing government agencies with their RDBMS. 

“2016 was a milestone year for TmaxSoft with strategic customer acquisitions in the large enterprise segment as well as the public sector. These wins validate our value proposition in offering a robust scalable, resource efficient RDBMS solution that provides the data security, resiliency together with a transparent licensing model in a cost-efficient manner, bridging the gap between legacy relational databases - which is the biggest deciding factor for many enterprises to switch over,” said David Kim, MD, TmaxSoft Singapore.

Soong Jan Hsung, CEO of ECS ICT, a TmaxSoft distributor, commented “TmaxSoft’s Tibero provides what we believe is the next best alternative to replacing Oracle, which can provide database solutions at a lower cost but with greater flexibility. Tibero can support majority of the Oracle database functions, which allows for database to leverage their existing knowledge-base with minimal transition time. Anyone operating Oracle in their environment should explore Tibero as a compatible, flexible, lower-cost option.”

ECS ICT is a distribution hub for ICT products in Malaysia and an associate company of ECS Holdings, an ICT distributor in Asia Pacific. TmaxSoft is working with ECS as its authorised distributor for its entire portfolio, including middleware, database management, and application performance monitoring. 

In response to the strong takeup rate in 2016, TmaxSoft is growing the team in the ASEAN region and actively investing in both the people and business operations with new office openings to serve the needs of the ASEAN region starting 2017.

Kim said the emergence of alternative players like TmaxSoft has created "a more symbiotic and competitive ecosystem". "With an expanded regional team in ASEAN we aim to capitalise on the evolving database industry in the coming year as public and private clouds represent an area of great growth and long-term promise for the industry,” he said.
