John Mitchell, Asset Control’s vice president, global sales, said, “In response to growing customer demand for data management solutions, particularly in regions that are experiencing rapidly revised regulatory frameworks, Asset Control is making significant investments in customer facing people and infrastructure. We have seen prolific growth across the sector with key wins in Australia, Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, and especially Hong Kong and China, where we are able to continue our success there based on our investments in Chinese language support and local content. Our expansion will help benefit financial institutions with the data management solutions they need to diversify investments internationally and increase emphasis on risk and regulatory compliance.”
