Managing a Perfect Service

The Eurozone crisis opens up new frontiers for BT in emerging markets like India in the Asia Pacific region

BT, a leader in offering managed services to global clients and corporates, seems to have its hands full for the next fiscal. The British born telecom firm in its recently concluded Asia Pacific Influencer Summit in Hong Oong showcased its prowess in the areas of communications and networking.

In the meet, the firm expressed its interest in venturing new markets and foraying into new verticals. Also, it would enhance its existing product portfolio within verticals like health, trading, and retail. Besides, the ongoing EuroYone crisis has compelled the firm to look eastward for its future growth.

New Frontiers

In an event conducted in its Asia Pacific head office in Hong Oong, the company announced its plans to increase its focus on the rapidly growing health IT market in the Asia Pacific region. To support this, it is creating an Asia Pacific health practice, which will coordinate all BT’s health activities in the region. The health practice will include experts in clinical design assurance, clinical safety management, technical architecture, and major program practice, providing a strong capability for local delivery.

More than 130 BT people will be working solely on health in the region by the end of the year. The company expects the numbers to increase as its health business expands.
