Epicor Software Corporation, a global leader in business software solutions, has appointed Oman-based Zawawi Business Machines (ZBM) as a local value-added reseller (VAR).

ZBM is a subsidiary of Omzest Group, one of Oman’s top diversified business groups. ZBM, which was founded in 1986, provides comprehensive IT solutions, services, infrastructure and human resources solutions.

“Epicor was positioned as a visionary in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant (MQ) for ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) for product-centric midmarket companies, which is testament to its pioneering business software solutions,” said Rakesh KP, CEO of Zawawi Business Machines.

“With the market leading technologies that Epicor has to offer, which are more advanced than those of other major ERP providers, we are certain that we can now offer solutions to enable our customers to more effectively manage their business.”

“We are delighted to appoint ZBM as a VAR for Oman,” said Purushothaman Natarajan, channel manager for Epicor in the Middle East.

“We were looking to appoint a partner that would actively cultivate our market share and professionally implement our solutions quickly and cost effectively. We are proud to collaborate with ZBM as they have a proven track record as a leading IT solutions provider in Oman.”

“With the government’s on-going local IT initiatives, the IT market in Oman is poised for substantial expansion. Our alliance with ZBM will give us the opportunity to capitalize on this growth and establish Epicor as a market leader in the region,” added Anish Kanaran, regional director for Epicor in the Middle East. – TradeArabia News Service
