(InfoWorld) - Microsoft will step up its investments in AsiaÂ over the next two years as part of a bid to strengthen its relationship with partners and corporate customers in the area of mission-critical technologies. "Over the next two years, we're going to invest about $14 million in resources and facilities," said Chris Sharp, Microsoft's Asia-Pacific general manager of server and tools products, during a phone interview. As part of these investments, Microsoft will assign 100 technical specialists to work with customers and ISVs (independent software vendors) on mission-critical software products, including Windows 2003 Server and SQL Server 2005. The company also plans to open two technology incubation centers in Seoul and Bangalore, India. "These technology centers are there to showcase the capabilities of server technology and help people port their applications to mission-critical hardware," Sharp said. Microsoft's planned investments in Asia will boost the effectiveness of the company's enterprise sales team in Asia, said Dane Anderson, head of research at Springboard Research. From a technology standpoint, Microsoft's products are competitive with offerings from rival vendors but the sales cycle for enterprise products is longer and more involved than for sales of desktop operating systems or application suites, Anderson said. "These investments help to address that," he said. Customers that have an established relationship also expect to benefit from the added investment and new technology centers. "We think it's pretty good for us,"James Kang, the chief information officer of NTUC Income Insurance Cooperative, noting that the incubation centers are available to help his company run simulations and test new applications.

(InfoWorld) - SAP AG has doubled its customer base in India from 1,000 to 2,000 over the last one year. Markets in India and China will play a key role in its drive to sign up 100,000 customers by 2010, the company said Tuesday. The company's entire executive board, including Henning Kagermann, CEO and chairman of the executive board, is currently visiting India, reflecting the rising importance of the country to SAP as a market and a center for technology development and support services, the company said. On a previous visit to India, Kagermann had shown interest in working with Indian outsourcers both for their skills and the lower costs they offer to customers. Last year, SAP announced that it would invest US$1 billion in India by 2010, primarily in its offshore development and services and support hub in the country. SAP Labs India is currently the company's largest research and development and support operation outside Germany. While its Bangalore operations focus on product development, a new facility in Gurgaon near Delhi focuses on global service and support. The company also announced Tuesday that Indian outsourcer Wipro Ltd. will become an SAP global services partner and will establish a solutions lab in Bangalore to showcase the benefits of enterprise SOA (service-oriented architecture).
