Software and consulting company Datavard expands into Asia. Datavard takes the next step in its global strategy by opening the doors of its first office in Singapore. The goal is to further extend international presence, develop new markets and position Datavard as expert in analytics, data management and system operations in the SAP world.
Presence in Singapore grants Datavard access into the Asian market. This Asian branch is the 11th international office for the growing Datavard company. The Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ) region has been uncharted territory for the SAP partner, although the Asian IT market in general and the SAP market in particular have seen dynamic growth over the past years. “With local presence, we can better serve customers across the globe”, Gregor Stoeckler, Datavard CEO explains.
Ekrem Namazci has been appointed APJ Regional Managing Director. His responsibilities include Datavard go-to-market and development of a regional partner and customer network with the local sales and support team.

He earned a global MBA from University of Singapore, Harvard Business School, Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania) and the Indian School of Business in business administration and IT.
