Combines In-Region Sales, Marketing, and Global Services and Support to Deliver Integrated Solutions to Customers, Partners and Distributors

SINGAPORE -- 3Com Corporation today unveiled a unified sales and support organization for the Asia-Pacific region (APR), following the integration of 3Com and H3C Technologies. Beginning today, the 3Com and H3C sales and marketing organizations are now one team with an integrated go-to-market strategy and a broader product portfolio in the region.

"With this successful integration, we have built a stronger, more experienced team that we believe will enable us to increase our presence and success in the region," said Peter Chai, Vice President & General Manager (Asia Pacific), 3Com Corp. "By combining the two organizations, our customers and partners now have access to a more expansive portfolio of low-cost, high-quality secure, converged networking solutions.

"Additionally, we intend to fully leverage H3C's research and development capabilities to help us create new, innovative products and deliver them to the enterprise and service provider markets faster than the competition," added Chai.

Moving forward, 3Com will look to combine systems in the region, as appropriate, in order to streamline processes and promote operational efficiency.

As part of the integration, 3Com also announced its new APR management team, led by Peter Chai.

Chai has more than 24 years in the telecommunications industry with direct hands-on experience in the entire operations of several recognised global companies. Specifically, his background includes focus on the financial and commercial aspects of running a business, as well as business development, marketing and sales, product development, project management, engineering and network operations.

"Prior to naming the APR leadership team, we reviewed internal and external candidates to help ensure we found the most qualified and experienced team possible," said Chai. "I am very confident that we now have a team in place that will help us win in both the large enterprise and SMB markets. Throughout this transition, one of the top priorities of this new organization is to maintain the high level of service and support that both H3C and 3Com customers and partners have come to expect from us."

On March 29, 2007, 3Com acquired the remaining 49% of H3C Technologies of China, giving it full 100 percent ownership.
