Negative
  • None.

JFrog Ltd. (“JFrog”) (NASDAQ: FROG), the liquid software company, today announced it will be expanding its presence in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, specifically in the People’s Republic of China. The expansion - which complements JFrog’s already strong presence and offices in India and Japan - enables the company to accelerate its services and engagements with customers and local partners in the region as their demand increases for JFrog’s end-to-end DevOps solution.

The growing of JFrog’s local business operations in China - spanning local Technical DevOps Support, Sales, and Marketing teams - will provide front-line support for the growing list of Chinese enterprises looking to automate their software delivery lifecycle.

IDC predicts1 that by 2025, up to a quarter of A500 companies in APAC will become software producers to digitally transform and maintain their A-500 status. Further, they predict that by 2023, 60% of Asian 1000 companies will shift security to earlier in the development process so that security engages with DevOps teams to review application architecture and release plans early on.

These underscore the growing adoption of DevOps and DevSecOps in the region, as well as to the criticality of DevOps and digital transformation to the competitive advantage of large enterprises in APAC.

As one of the largest economies in the world, China has also seen a rise in large organizations looking to adopt hybrid DevOps and DevSecOps practices at scale to accelerate application releases, leading them to rely on enterprise-grade DevOps solutions, such as the JFrog Platform, in both cloud and self-hosted environments, in order to empower digital transformation.

JFrog Artifactory - a universal package manager and container registry solution, and JFrog Xray - a continuous security solution for open-source vulnerabilities and license compliance, both part of the JFrog DevOps Platform, are used by more than 100 enterprises in China.

The company currently boasts many of the leading enterprises in China among its customer roster- including some of the largest financial institutions and insurance companies, one of the world’s largest video game vendors, one of China’s largest smartphone manufacturers, and other leading brand names in technology, retail, internet, and telecommunications.

"We see impressive growth and maturity in the Chinese market and we are excited to expand our presence to better serve the community," said Tali Notman, Chief Revenue Officer at JFrog. "With some of China’s leading companies increasingly adopting DevOps and DevSecOps, our growing footprint and strong partnership in the region puts us in a better position to serve our customers’ growing needs, and further support our thousands of global customers that have Development teams in APAC and can now benefit from more trusted experts and local resources next to them.”
