Woburn, Mass (February 19, 2009) –
LogMeIn is expanding into Australia and New Zealand with the opening of its Sydney office, the company’s first office in Asia Pacific. LogMeIn has seen significant adoption of its remote access solutions in the region, and Australia, New Zealand and the greater Pacific Region and is investing to further support the company’s existing customers and drive new adoption among consumers, SME and enterprise IT, and IT service providers. Seth Shaw has been appointed as General Manager to lead the Sydney office as the base for sales, marketing and support in Australia, New Zealand and the greater Pacific Region.
Since the company’s inception, over 60 million Windows PCs, Macs, smartphones, servers and other devices have been “simply connected” using LogMeIn, enabling people to connect to their digital assets from any location at anytime. In the fourth quarter of 2008, an average of 92,000 new devices connected with LogMeIn each day.
“With thousands of customers and hundreds of thousands of connected devices across Australia and New Zealand, we think the time is right to make a significant investment in the region to support our customers and grow our business,” said Seth Shaw, General Manager, ANZ for LogMeIn. “Australia/New Zealand has a large percentage of small and medium sized businesses that are savvy about mobile computing and utilising new tools to support mobile workers, customers and partners. We’ve seen demand for remote access and support solutions grow as businesses seek to increase productivity, reduce IT costs and deliver competitive advantages to Australian businesses.”
