ITRS Group has expanded its presence in Asia with the opening of a new Singapore office. The office will sit alongside the application performance and management technology provider’s existing hubs in Hong Kong and the Philippines.

Located in the AXA Tower at the heart of Singapore’s business district, the office will be run by managing director in Asia-Pacific, Mark Loader, supported by a team of consultants.

“As financial firms in Asia are increasingly challenged by the growing cost and complexity of trading across different jurisdictions, real-time application and infrastructure monitoring is high on the priority list,” said Loader.

“Singapore was a natural step for us as we expand in the region. This office will allow us to be more connected to our clients here in Singapore, and support both local and international requirements in a more timely and efficient manner.”

The move comes in response to regional demand for ITRS’ services, in addition to its existing client base in Singapore.
