TSYS today announced the signing of three new clients and the addition of a new data center in Japan. The clients include: AZ Card, OCS and Nagasaki Kenmin Shinyo Kumiai. The data center, which will be called the TSYS Okinawa Data Center (TODC), is located in Nago City, Okinawa.
"TSYS has operated in Japan since 2000 when we purchased a majority stake in the ownership of GP Network Corporation (GP Net) and opened our first office there," said Gaylon Jowers, president of TSYS International. "Japan is the third largest credit card market in the world, and we will continue to make a significant contribution to this market by offering the expertise and experience we´ve gained from more than 25 years in the payments industry."
"The new clients and technologies that the data center brings to TSYS will contribute to our established presence in the Japanese market," said Hitoshi Kondo, managing director of TSYS Japan. "We are confident that we will be able to build on this foundation and accelerate our growth in the Japanese payments market. As one of the leading providers of payment services worldwide, TSYS will continue to provide the high quality service for which we are known."
The TODC will be initially used as a data center for Japan, but may eventually serve as an Asian hub within the TSYS global network, linking the existing data centers in North America and Europe.
