Based on our market intelligence we are going to dedicate more people than 3Com in Russia in 2006. |
Recruitment of resellers has advanced our opportunities by allowing us to go into much bigger accounts, especially in Scandinavia. Currently we hold a 50 percent market share in Finland, and that is partly due to a combination of working in channels for many years, and recruiting new resellers. |
There will also be investment in customer support. In the Middle East this year we opened a call centre in Dubai, and will continue to invest here. |
This will mean a tripling of investment in Russia and a doubling of investment in South Africa, and will continue over the next two years to gain the critical mass necessary for supplying customer needs. |
We expect the 5400 and 3500 series will fuel our continued industry leadership. |
We identified Russia and the Middle East as very important for development. |
