KARACHI: The US-based WYSE Technology Incorporation - a pioneer in
thin computing - is considering making Pakistan a hub of its
commercial activities in the South Asian region, industry sources
said on Saturday.

"President and CEO of WYSE Technology Dr John Kish is due to visit
Pakistan later this month," said a source in local IT industry close
to the development.

"The convergence of more powerful networks, dramatic growth in
wireless devices and rapid adoption of new technologies in markets
like India and China make this the right time for WYSE to expand its
lead in the thin-client market and deliver entirely new computing
benefits to customers around the world. I'm thrilled to take on that
challenge," he quoted Dr John Kish as saying.

NC Incorporation Pakistan had already been appointed as authorised
distributor and service centre of WYSE Technology in the region and
had included MCB Bank, Allied Bank, EFU, Bank Alfalah, Ibrahim
Fibre, Gul Ahmed and others in their clientele, he added.

Founded in 1981, WYSE Technology is a technology developing company
headquartered in San Jose, California, USA, with offices worldwide.
The company introduced economical, ergonomic and attractively
designed terminal products of high quality and reliability.

"Recently, global technology analyst International Data Corporation
announced in their fourth quarter 2005 report that WYSE remains the
leader in all regions, with 44.2 per cent market share in the US, 37
per cent in Asia Pacific and 27.2 per cent in Western Europe," added
the source.
