Tideworks Technology® Inc., a leading provider of full-service terminal management and planning software solutions, today announced it has opened a regional representative office in Singapore. Thiagu Goundan will act as Regional Director, Asia Pacific for Tideworks to help strengthen the introduction of Tideworks products and services in the region.

“We are thrilled to be expanding our business into Asia and to have the support of Thiagu Goundan who has extensive knowledge of Tideworks’ suite of products and the Asian market,” said Michael Schwank, president, Tideworks Technology. “As an international center of trading and shipping routes, Singapore is an ideal place for us to establish strong connections in the Asian port industry.”

As Regional Director for Tideworks, Thiagu Goundan will serve as Tideworks representative in the Asia Pacific market and will cultivate new business opportunities in the region on behalf of Tideworks’ corporate headquarters in Seattle. Prior to this role, he spent eight years with the company as the development manager for one of Tideworks’ principal product lines, Mainsail Terminal Management System®.

“During my time with Tideworks, I have overseen several large-scale projects and believe there is a great opportunity for Tideworks to establish itself within the Asian market,” said Goundan. “Tideworks has an incredibly strong reputation and solid product lines that can help established and new ports and terminals in the area manage their operations. I’m looking forward to growing our presence and supporting regional needs in this burgeoning area of the world.”

Tideworks offers a complete suite of products for dedicated container terminals as well as multi-purpose terminals, including five principal applications: Mainsail Terminal Management System®, GateVision®, Spinnaker Planning Management System®, Traffic Control, and Genoa Breakbulk Management System®. The products increase productivity, enhance cargo visibility, and improve inventory control and asset management, which lower overall operating costs. The company’s solutions have been deployed with numerous ports in Latin America, the United States and Europe.

In addition, Tideworks offers around-the-clock care and application support from Tideworks’ Service Center as well as software updates and upgrades as part of Tideworks’ standard software maintenance and support service.

Company representatives will be attending the Terminal Operators Conference & Exhibition (TOC) in Shanghai, China from March 18 – 20, 2008, which will focus on the outlook for Asian trade and maritime logistics during the next year.
