The Tauranga-based software analytics firm has launched two Chinese language portals at the Hong Kong International ICT Expo.

One portal is in traditional Chinese and the other in simplified Chinese, which the company says enables government, major corporates and SMEs in both Hong Kong and China to access Pingar’s recently launched data management tools.

Co-founder and CEO Peter Wren-Hilton (pictured) said, "This market was an early focus for delivering Pingar’s new technology. Many of our key global partners are in China and they have referred to these components as ‘game-changing’.

"We wanted to make these tools available to them as quickly as possible given the massive commercial potential this region offers. This is the culmination of four years of repeat market visits and engagement with both commercial and Government agency partners in this region.”

Pingar has also opened a new office at the Cyberport Innovation Park in Hong Kong, with former Gen-i chairman, Mark Lunt, taking on the role of Regional Director for Hong Kong and China.

"Working with partners including Microsoft and Compose System in this region we understand the scale of opportunity for Pingar’s technology platform,” said Lunt.

"Establishing an office in Hong Kong, launching these Chinese language portals and making the Chinese language API freely available for developers are critical steps in helping us capitalise on that opportunity.” says Lunt.
