” Sitecore is the global leader in customer experience management
software that lets marketers own the experience they deliver to their
customers and prospects. Sitecore began its business activities in
Malaysia in early 2015 and we are now expanding our operations in
Malaysia where we expect to reach 100 employees before summer
2016. Thanks to our partners and Sitecore’s MSC status, we have
managed to avoid the normal ‘red tape’ which has enabled us to focus
on our main reason for establishing our business in Malaysia: Access
to highly qualified and ambitious employees that can participate in
making Sitecore an even better product and company. The Sitecore
office located in down-town Kuala Lumpur focuses on product
development (.NET programming) as well as providing Sitecore
training, customer support and sales to our APAC customers”
