Exact Software Middle East, a manufacturer of enterprise resource planning software solutions, plans to aggressively expand its regional presence from its regional headquarters in Dubai Internet City. Exact’s new Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar offices will open in the summer and autumn of 2004. Offices in Oman, the Levant and Egypt will follow during 2005. The office openings are part of an 18-month plan to make the Middle East one of the four key pillars of Exact’s global business.
“Dubai has established itself as the Middle East’s regional IT hub and was clearly the best place to establish our regional headquarters,” said Nizar Badwan, GM, Exact Software Middle East. “However, we sell our software solutions to organizations directly, and so need to go out into the market to demonstrate our commitment to multinational customers with the highest level of local service, as well as winning new business throughout the region. Our Pan-Arab network of in-country offices will enable us to provide deeper levels of support than any of our competitors and contribute to our ongoing growth in the Middle East.”
