ManageEngine, the enterprise IT management software division of Zoho Corp., has launched a partner-developer ecosystem called ManageEngine Marketplace in Southeast Asian markets to help companies in the region improve their systems by applying emerging technologies.
The company's Chief Executive Officer, Rajesh Ganesan, explained that the platform's flexibility allows customers and partners to customize and extend its capabilities, much like the Apple and Android ecosystems. This enables the creation of applications that can be published in the marketplace, connecting partner-developers, customers, and the ManageEngine platform teams to co-innovate and accelerate enterprise IT outcomes.
Since its launch, the platform has hosted over 17 partner-developer organizations who have built more than 170 turnkey extensions, driving more than 10,000 downloads. The solution rapid-deploys ManageEngine's artificial intelligence (AI) agent Zia across the company's platforms and third-party solutions to lift enterprise workloads.
Mr. Ganesan highlighted the importance of building a developer ecosystem around ManageEngine, stating that the company aims to have hundreds of partners in the Southeast Asian region alone. This will enable the development of the platform by the ecosystem, rather than just by the company's own people.
Across Southeast Asia, ManageEngine has more than 7,500 customers, with revenues growing by an average of 25% predominantly coming from its cloud solutions. The company offers both on-premise and cloud applications, with cloud growth reaching 35% in the region.
Growth in the region will also be driven by existing customers buying more products as well as their security solutions. The company has a significant presence in the region, with over 1,000 customers each in Indonesia and Singapore, and smaller but still substantial numbers in Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.
In terms of revenue growth, Vietnam had the fastest expansion at 35%, followed by the Philippines at 30%, Thailand and Malaysia both at 25%, Singapore at 23%, and Indonesia at 20%. The company is investing heavily in the solution and its developer ecosystem, with a focus on further growth and expansion in the region.
