The firm, which launched in Asia in 2004 with an office in Singapore, has opened for business in Malaysia and will be run by Asia-Pacific MD Piers Lee.
"We had clients in Malaysia which were being serviced from Singapore, but we wanted to service them locally," said Lee. "The Malaysia launch is a natural extension of our Singapore office."
In Indonesia, Vivek Thomas will join the company to run the Jakarta office. Lee said that the company intends to open a Hong Kong office before the end of 2007 from which Kadence's north Asia operation will initially launch.
Kadence is a business-to-business research company and also has offices in London, Boston and Delhi.
