Singapore, 03 June 2003 | For Immediate Release
The new IDA-LG CNS partnership will provide business and solutions development opportunities for Singapore Infocomm Local Enterprises (iLEs) and LG CNS, in Korea, Singapore and beyond. Announcing this today, the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) and LG CNS elaborated that this new partnership will take place at two levels:
* As an Infocomm Local Industry Upgrading Programme (iLIUP) partner, LG CNS will enhance the capabilities and expertise of partnering Singapore developers; jointly develop solutions suite that eventually be adapted and deployed for Singapore and overseas markets through LG CNS' international networks.

The IDA is excited about this new partnership with LG CNS," said Mr Khoong Hock Yun, Assistant Chief Executive for Infocomm Development Group at the IDA, "As part of our Beyond Singapore strategy in the Connected Singapore Infocomm vision, we believe that such long term collaborations not only benefit Singapore, but also leading Infocomm companies such as LG CNS. Singapore iLEs will benefit from the experience of jointly developing and testing solutions and have a head-start in the global marketplace as these solutions will be distributed through LG CNS'global network."
ODP was first announced at the launch of the IDA's Connected Singapore vision on 26th March 2003. Working at a corporate level, ODP forges win-win partnerships between Singapore-based infocomm Local Enterprises (iLEs) and leading global Infocomm Companies.

It also plugs them into global business opportunities and networks. The IDA, through the Overseas Development Programme (ODP) aims to nurture 50 globally competitive local companies to achieve export revenue of more than $50 million over the next two years. This will be achieved through mutually beneficial partnerships with leading local and global Infocomm Multinational Companies (MNC) such as LG CNS.
LG CNS expects to accelerate its globalisation strategy by partnering Singapore iLEs through industry development programmes, such as through IDA's iLIUP and ODP.

As Korea's leading SI, LG CNS believes that this partnership with the IDA to be mutually beneficial. We believe that our iLIUP and ODP partnerships with the IDA will enable us to work with the best of Singapore's iLEs, and put us in good stead to develop world-class solutions based on LG CNS best practices and methodologies. This will boost our value in the South East Asia IT market as well as in Singapore."
