[edit] History
eSys was incorporated in Singapore in 2000 at the time of dotcom meltdown. Distribution of IT components was one of the hardest hit and margins were low. eSys started with one product and one one country and operated from a small office in Singapore having two employees.
Today, being a global leader in IT Components Distribution, eSys has successfully diversified into PC Manufacturing; eSys branded IT Products and Business Process and IT Services.
eSys growth and business success is attributed to competencies related to an efficient and process driven business model which transcends diverse product lines and geographies.
