Rapid growth leads to restructuring and establishment of global headquarters in Singapore

Singapore, 10 April 2007 – interTouch, a leading global provider of broadband connectivity services to the hospitality industry, has announced that, Singapore will now be the base for their international headquarters, after an organizational restructuring of its subsidiary companies.

This restructuring will streamline the organizational structure and enhance operational efficiency of the interTouch group of companies and has been undertaken in response to the company's rapid global business growth.  In 2006 alone, interTouch doubled the customer base built up over the preceding seven years.

Singapore was selected as the international headquarters due to its unparalleled reputation as a global hub for technology companies – its excellent policies and infrastructure in place for businesses.  Singapore was also chosen due to its strategic location in the Asia Pacific region, where many of interTouch's clients are based.

interTouch has been enjoying significant growth globally, due to their reputation for providing hotel broadband that is easy to connect, fast, secure and reliable, and a first-time connect rate of 96% which is unrivalled in the industry.  In 2007, interTouch has entered two new markets - North America and South America, with the implementation of interTouch broadband solutions in Pan Pacific Seattle and the Grand Hyatt San Paulo in Brazil.

“To have the core of interTouch’s operations situated at a geographically strategic location with a business-friendly environment is critical in a rapidly evolving and competitive market,” said Charles Reed, Chief Executive Officer, interTouch group of companies.

“We look forward to continuing to grow our business out of Singapore, offering the best value proposition to our hotel partners worldwide.  interTouch will maintain a focus on providing the best solutions and the best team, to meet the needs of our hotel customers, as well as their guests.”
