Systems integration specialist Unisys Corp has said it is confident that a post-recession Asia will emerge as one of the world's largest markets for information technologies.
Jack Blaine, senior vice-president, on a tour through Asia with chairman Lawrence Weinbach, said Asia, excluding Japan, represents about 5 per cent of Unisys' global sales.
Mr Blaine said Unisys expected this figure to increase substantially in the future.
'We anticipate that post-Asian economic crisis, Asia will grow faster than the US or Europe,' Mr Blaine said.
'We think Asia in total, irrespective of country, there is not one country in Asia that does not represent a substantial opportunity.
'Definitely, we see China growing faster than the rest of the Asian markets.' Mr Blaine said there was a radical shift in operating businesses with technology that has not completely caught on in Asia: 'I don't think the markets are different, it's a matter of timing.
