Logicalis has announced that its Australia and Asia businesses will combine to form Logicalis Asia Pacific from 1 June 2024.
The company said the combined entity will consolidate 1,600 employees with a collective revenue upwards of $US350 million across 10 countries, including Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Philippines and Vietnam.
Logicalis Asia Pacific will be led by Chong-Win Lee as CEO of Logicalis Asia Pacific with Anthony Woodward continuing in his role as CEO of Logicalis Australia and reporting to Lee.
In addition to his current responsibilities, Woodward will lead a special task force focused on fostering innovation and identifying joint opportunities across the region.
“The strategic consolidation of Logicalis’ operations across Australia and Asia marks a pivotal moment in the company’s continued growth and evolution," said Lee.
"The aim of this reorganisation is to build a powerhouse capable of delivering high-impact technology solutions more efficiently for customers across Asia Pacific, while still providing the local expertise and support that Logicalis customers value.”
“The Logicalis Asia Pacific entity will help the company to achieve greater influence with vendors and deliver even greater outcomes for customers into the future.”
Logicalis said the combined entity is designed to enhance service delivery and bring a cohesive solution portfolio to customers.
This reflects the alignment of Logicalis Asia’s strategy to enable XaaS operating models to support digital transformation and Logicalis Australia’s commitment to becoming the best MSP in the country.
“Formally combining the strengths of Logicalis Australia and its Asia counterparts is an acceleration of what has already been happening organically," said Woodward.
"This evolution lets Logicalis Australia and our customers leverage high-value digital capabilities from across the region, ensuring faster, more competitive, and more comprehensive service offerings."
"It also strengthens the local team’s onshore capabilities while integrating best practices and expertise from across Asia, enabling the delivery of scalable, cost-effective managed service options for customers."
The consolidation follows Logicalis Australia adding Commvault's security-as-a-service solutions to its data protection managed service in May 2024.
In April, the company stepped up its partnership with Dicker Data to help scale up its Microsoft cloud business.
“The goal for Logicalis is clear: to harness the collective strengths of the company’s diverse operations to drive innovation and growth throughout Australia, Asia, and the globe," said Bob Bailkoski, global CEO at Logicalis.
"This reorganisation represents a strategic response to the evolving IT landscape and reinforces Logicalis’ commitment to developing solutions that support its customers’ success in the digital age."
