Dubai: A large percentage of companies in the Middle East are opting for cloud computing - a model where dynamically scalable and often virtualised resources can be accessed through connected devices as a service over the internet - according to UAE-based systems integrator Raqmiyat.
Anticipating an expected increase in demand among regional companies, Raqmiyat is offering a range of business solutions, including infrastructure, platform and software provided as services over the worldwide web. In addition, the company also provides IT outsourcing services in response to the growing need for local companies to outsource most of their processes to save on operational costs.
The company is currently offering business solutions on segments such as supply chain management (SCM), human resource (HR) applications, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) through its latest product "GEMS" ERP solution, which appear poised for strong cloud computing advances over the next several years. In addition, the company also offers accounting and payroll applications through the cloud computing model.
"With the advent of advanced technologies and innovative distribution models, we are witnessing an increasing dependence of businesses in the region towards IT outsourcing services, as means to remain competitive," said Navneet Tandon, vice-president, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and Services, Raqmiyat.
