Breakthrough Technology Supports Changing Working practices at UAE's Leading Law Office
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Exact Software Middle East, a leading manufacturer of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software solutions, today announced that Al Tamimi & Company, Dubai’s leading legal firm, has signed a contract to deploy its award-winning Exact-Synergy and Exact Globe 2000 applications across its law offices.
The legal group, which has practices in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and Dubai Internet City, will use the combined solution to manage its ever-growing library of documents and legal papers, share information across its offices and provide even higher standards of service for its clients.
“Our aim in using this technology is to streamline our operations and introduce greater efficiency into our working practices,” said Essam Al Tamimi, founder and managing partner, Al Tamimi & Company. “Exact’s software solution will provide us with an ideal infrastructure for managing the workflow and documentation that is generated by complex legal cases.”
Al Tamimi is one of the first legal practices in the Middle East to deploy such an advanced collaborative enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, following the lead of some of the world’s most prestigious law firms.
As the company takes on more clients and becomes involved in a greater number of legal cases, its new automated business solution will help to organize and distribute key files online and provide facilities to ensure that different documents have been reviewed and approved by senior members of the company.
The solution provided by Exact was particularly attractive to Al Tamimi because of its world-class security features. Client documents are stored in protected areas which can only be accessed by authorized personnel, supporting and enhancing Al Tamimi’s reputation for confidentiality and discretion.
“Exact’s solutions are a perfect fit for high-level service companies like Al Tamimi & Company, because they extend to support the sophisticated working practices and information needs of senior professionals,” said Nizar Badwan, managing director, Exact Software Middle East.
Exact Globe 2000 and Exact-Synergy are two new international products launched by Exact and based on Exact’s revolutionary One-X concept that allows an organization to manage its entire business enterprise system from a single integrated database.
The One-X concept is said to guarantee that information is always available at the right place and right time, anywhere and anytime. By deploying a single database platform for all business processes, information is not duplicated and data entry is reduced. This in turn gives organizations better information, increases efficiency and allows a strong platform for the introduction of a web-based front-office application, which can be used throughout the organization.
Since its launch in October 2002, Exact Software Middle East has developed an aggressive plan for regional expansion that includes the opening of up to ten country offices over the next three years, each pursuing a direct sales and service model.
“Sales and services sectors are among the dynamic parts of the Middle East’s’ economies and we feel confident that our software will play a key role in helping companies manage the rapid pace of change and growth more effectively,” said Badwan.
Global customers of Exact Software solutions include Siemens, L’Oreal, Eli Lilly, DAF Trucks and Caterpillar.
