We know it ' s a complicated market . It ' s not a market that any foreign entity can just enter alone , and we ' ve seen other international companies try to enter the market alone and fail ,” Goh explains . This cautious approach is what led Iron Mountain Data Centers to partner up with Web Werks , he continues . “ We needed a partner that understands the market , and has the local know-how to help us be successful , which led us to Web Werks ,” he says , adding that
