Published Jun 6, 2011

Epicor Software Corporation, a global leader in business software solutions for manufacturing, distribution, retail and services organizations, announced plans to expand and strengthen its channel program in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with a focus on adding partners with value-added industry and market expertise to support the growing demand for its next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution. The “Saudi Arabia Information Technology Report Q1 2011” forecasts excellent growth opportunities with the value of KSA’s IT market to reach $4.9 billion USD by 2014 from the forecast value of $3.6 billion USD in 2011.
The report shows that the Saudi government continues to regard development of the country’s information communications technologies (ICT) industries as a national priority. Saudi Arabia’s governing Shura Council has a strategic objective for the IT industry to raise its contribution to gross domestic product (GDP) to 20 percent by 2020. Another key goal is to raise broadband penetration to 31 percent by 2013.
“The state of the Saudi Arabian IT market and the steady growth of the country’s economy presents tremendous opportunities for Epicor,” said Basil Daniells, vice president, sales for Epicor. “Moreover, the government continues to push ahead with the development of information and communication technology throughout the Kingdom, especially in terms of major infrastructure projects. Given this scenario, we are keen on strengthening our presence in this market, and accordingly we are looking for suitable channel partners to meet our expansion goals in the Kingdom.”
