Business solutions provider unveils latest Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) for the real estate, Manufacturing, and Automotive sectors

Kuwait City, 8 April 2008 - Together with its Kuwaiti in-country partners, Sage Software, the leading business software provider, concluded the Kuwaiti leg of its regional Solutions Day road show.

Focusing on empowering businesses through the adoption of the right technology for their industries, Sage technology experts met with 90 decision makers from different Kuwaiti industries to educate and discuss how solutions such as CRM and ERP  can drive growth.

"Kuwait is a rapidly developing market, and businesses in the country need that competitive edge to compete not only on a local stage but also internationally," said Sage Software Middle East Managing Director Marc Van der Ven. "Technology is one answer to the relentless pace of change in the economy today. That's why we're here in Kuwait, to empower decision makers through technology."

Joined by in-country partner Arabesque, Sage and its channel community demonstrated their continuing commitment to Kuwait's business community through investment and training.

"Kuwaiti business owners understand that it's imperative to use technology. But which technology is the right investment, and what solutions will provide the highest return on investment. Both Arabesque and Sage have proved over and over again that we can deliver value for money as well as drive growth for our end users and their customers too," explained Khalil du Plessis, business solutions consultant, Arabesque.

A number of Sage customers were also present to explain how they've benefited from the right IT choice. "Real estate isn't the first industry that comes to mind when it comes to the technology industry, but Sage's tailored solutions have helped us realize value from our own capital, investments and employees," added Hani Ezzeldine, Chief Accountant, Injazzat Real Estate Development Co.
