Under its designation as Master VAR, Hamamedia in Korea will undertake both direct sales and channel development, for service provider platforms and enterprise implementations. In addition, it will work with CosmoCom to establish OEM relationships in the region. According to Datamonitor, the Asia Pacific region will account for 20 percent of the global call center population by 2009, and Korea is ahead of the curve of booming interest in IP-based contact center installations in that region.
Hamamedia is led by two veteran IT sales and marketing leaders in the Korean/Asia Pacific region: CEO Langkee Minn and COO, Woosurk Chweh. Langkee holds an MS degree Computer Information Systems from Southern New Hampshire University and has almost 20 years of experience with technology companies including Samsung Electronics, Compaq, and Intel. His innovative channel marketing strategies for Compaq have served as a guide to other IT marketers in Korea. Woosurk earned an MBA in global management from the prestigious Helsinki School of Economics and Business Administration. He has more than a dozen years of technology industry experience with companies including LG Electronics, IBM, and Compaq/HP.
"Accepting the role of a Master VAR indicates the seriousness of our belief and the depth of our commitment to the IP contact center requirements of this region," said Langkee. "Hamamedia is pleased to be providing CosmoCom's strong technology in the Korean market."
"Hamamedia is an excellent channel partner for CosmoCom. It has the right technical expertise and a strong focus on the contact center on demand marketplace," said Ari Sonesh, CosmoCom's Chairman and CEO.
