"We serve a range of clients in the enterprise IT systems space, providing consulting and staff augmentation services, so it made sense to team up with Vertali and offer even more," says Dallas Newton, the Regional Manager for, Vertali APAC Pty Ltd.

"In terms of growth and market demand, Asia-Pacific remains a dynamic region, with emerging economies on track to enjoy solid growth. There were some synergies in what we were taking to market here, so this venture positions us for the already rising client demand locally and across the region."

The Vertali APAC business will cover the region identified as ASEANZKJ, namely Australia, Southeast Asia, New Zealand, Korea and Japan.

"We look forward to connecting with even more teams in Asia-Pacific, helping clients to properly secure their systems, address pressing day-to-day requirements and drive even more value from their investments in people and technology," says Mark Wilson, Technical Director, Vertali.
