Planview, a global leader in Portfolio Management and Work
Management, today announced the establishment of its regional
headquarters in Singapore. The expanded Asia Pacific operations
will support the growing demand for software solutions to
accelerate agility and business transformation.
The business disruptions accelerated by global events over the past
year, together with major changes in work culture, processes, and
business demands, have exposed the weaknesses of 'digital
transformation' initiatives around the world, including in
Asia.
Despite investments in new technology and methodologies,
disconnects in the operating environment have shown that many of
these transformation initiatives have fallen short, Razat Gaurav,
Chief Executive Officer at Planview, said at the launch of its
regional headquarters.
"After a surge in digital transformation investments for over a
decade, most transformation initiatives have failed to yield the
rapid insights, innovation, and deep connectivity needed to respond
to the multiple challenges faced in recent times.
Business initiatives have become more complex across multiple
locations, with shorter business cycles and much less
predictability. It's critical that employees across the business
can see how their work connects to the organisation's strategic
outcomes and are enabled to make fast decisions on the front lines
while staying on point strategically. To do so, the C-suite needs
software that can facilitate agility, empower, measure individual
and team outcomes, and offer visibility, all while achieving a
holistic vision," Gaurav said.
Named a leader in both the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for
Enterprise Agile Planning Tools[1] and the 2022 Gartner Magic
Quadrant for Strategic Portfolio Management[2], Planview addresses
these gaps through solutions that enable strategic alignment to
support organizations on their transformation journeys.
Planview was acquired for US$1.6 billion in December 2020 by TPG
Capital, the private equity platform of global alternative asset
firm TPG, and TA Associates, a leading global growth private equity
firm. In the last six quarters, Planview has acquired four
companies to enhance its leadership in how companies drive
on-strategy delivery at speed and accelerate the achievement of
what matters most.
The launch of the APAC office is taking place just days after
Planview completed its acquisition of Tasktop, a pioneer and leader
in Value Stream Management (VSM). Based in Vancouver, Canada,
Tasktop was founded by Dr. Mik Kersten, author of best-selling
Project To Product: How to Survive and Thrive in the Age of Digital
Disruption with the Flow Framework. Kersten is now Planview's Chief
Technology Officer.
After completing the Tasktop acquisition, Planview now has 1,300
employees, more than 4,500 customers, and over 2.6 million users
worldwide.
Planview's operations in the region will be led by Managing
Director and President for APAC, Vishal Dhawan, and Head of
Strategy, Marketing and Alliances for APAC, Harsh Vardhan. The
former is an Indian national and a Singapore permanent resident and
the latter is a naturalised Singaporean.
"Our expanded footprint in APAC will allow us to support global
clients at a time of increasing business activity in the world's
fastest-growing economic region. We already have major customers in
Australia and Southeast Asia, and will increase our presence
through partnerships with consulting and transformation firms, as
well as global systems integrators," said Dhawan. "We also intend
to collaborate with Asian institutes of higher learning to help
build future leaders equipped to handle agile planning."
