Software firm expands to Japan and other new markets  
Rekhi Singh, CEO of R Systems International
R Systems, one of India’s leading providers of outsourced product development services, is extremely bullish about its future, having experienced in the past few years rapid growth that its chairman and CEO calls merely ‘‘the tip of the iceberg.’’

Having scored early success with companies in the U.S., R Systems is now expanding into new markets and stepping up efforts to build its business in Japan. From its Singapore office, R Systems already services Japanese global giants such as Sharp, Hitachi and TEAC.

Company Chief Rekhi Singh believes it has the knowledge and experience required to succeed in Japan as R Systems can meet the unique needs and demands of Japanese companies.

Aside from meeting vital requirements such as knowledge of Japanese language and culture, the company also has senior project managers who can function as so-called ‘‘bridge engineers.’’ It also sets up an effective communications infrastructure, which includes dedicated leased lines.

In meeting those demands, R Systems makes it much easier for the host company to integrate its operations with their vendors.

With this in mind, R Systems entered into a strategic partnership with Aisel, a provider of e-commerce, mobility and embedded software solutions with a significant customer base.

Aisel hopes to take advantage of R Systems’ deep pool of technical talent to expand its operations while R Systems is confident it will meet the needs of its partner based on its experience with Japanese companies.

R Systems, which went public in March 2006, has strengthened its infrastructure to meet these emerging demands and accommodate its foreseen expansion in the U.S. as part of its continuing commitment to improve customer service and build up its business.

R Systems received its initial strategic investments from Intel Capital in 2000 and from GE Capital in 2002. It is exploring possible strategic alliances with several local groups to give the company visibility in Japan.
