DOHA: Leading Indian technology solutions company, Sonata Software Ltd, will establish its business operations here through a joint venture with Mohammad Nasser Abdullah Al Misnad.
The joint venture will bear the name of Sonata Software (Qatar) which will provide business-focused technologies to Qatari enterprises which is seen as a strategic market for growth.
Sonata CEO Sanjay Viswanathan said the company has a strong focus on Qatar and pledges long term commitment to the region. "We will create on-shore and near-shore capabilities in Qatar and more importantly, will provide opportunities for local expertise to work on key technology projects."
Viswanatha said their presence here will enable Qatar to become a Country of Technological Excellence (CTE) by leveraging on Sonata's world class practices, processes, frameworks, tools and people.
Sonata is making strategic investments in building expertise and forging partnerships in cloud related technologies and mobility. Along with its product engineering and multi-mobile platform expertise, Sonata will offer these high-end services to companies in Qatar in order to support their critical business functions.
Sonata Software (Qatar) will build on a three year relationship with a leading national airline where there is an embedded Sonata team of 50 professionals. Sonata Software has also worked extensively with 16 other enterprises throughout the Gulf region that have similar business models and IT requirements.
The new joint venture will leverage Sonata's vast experience in ERP implementations across industry verticals and partnerships with leaders like SAP, Oracle and Microsoft to partner customers in their ERP implementation. These will involve upgrade and support initiatives on Microsoft DynamicsAX, Oracle eBusiness Suite and SAP.
Sonata's delivery approach involves pre-built solution accelerators - for vertical markets such as construction, manufacturing and distribution - and a proven global delivery model that help reduce cost, time and risk involved in such projects.
