Systems Integration Asia – April-May 2018

Fast Growth for HARMAN Professional Solutions in APAC

SI Asia had the pleasure of catching up with Ramesh Jayaraman, VP &
GM, HARMAN Professional Soluons, APAC recently. It has been 17+
months since Ramesh came on-board, coinciding with the
inauguraon of the company's first Experience Centre in Singapore.
During the inaugural speech, Ramesh made it a point to highlight that
HARMAN Professional Soluons is transioning from a product
centric to a soluons centric approach with a focus on end customers.
Over the months, there have been several movements within the
Division in terms of personnel as well as a restructuring of how the
business is to go forward. Not to forget there was also the BIG
announcement of Samsung acquiring HARMAN. Our catch-up with
Ramesh is thus mely as we get his views on how the company has
progressed since then. An SI Asia Exclusive.

The impact of the Experience Centre

In brief, the Experience Centre has allowed us to engage more closely
with people. It gives us a facility to demonstrate our complete

soluons to customers, partners and their clients, as well as the

system integrator community - building our business and keeping the

tracon going. HARMAN Professional is in a unique posion in terms

of the full line of technologically–advanced, end-to-end AVLC

soluons we offer.
