Amricon set for international expansion with the opening of an office in North America in 2007

The move comes after Amricon's recent participation at Gitex 2006 which saw excellent demand for the company's SMART solutions. Amricon is gearing up to capitalize on this interest on an international level and leverage the advantages of some of the global patents it has received, through the North American office.

"Amricon has been recognised globally for its customer-driven approach to developing its wide array of innovative products, and the decision to set up an office in North America is in line with the company's international expansion plans, which follows our success in key regional markets," said Rima Manna, Marketing Director at Amricon.

"We have recently been granted global patents for several of our industry-leading solutions including SMART Cheque, SMART Document, and SMART Parking and we aim to leverage these patents through our new office to enable a wider target audience to benefit of the significant advantages offered by these solutions."

Amricon's solutions are the result of extensive R&D and this has led to the company's success in the Middle East, and eventually prompting Amricon's foray into global markets. The company has recently been listed in the "Top 100 Technology Companies" to watch in the Middle East by IT Weekly.

"Amricon continues to invest in R&D to ensure that we have the ability to develop industry-leading technological solutions that address global requirements, and our success till date has been largely driven by the extensive focus and importance given to R&D.," added Manna.

As the region's leading smart solutions company whose core business strength continues to be its ability to constantly innovate, Amricon also aims to enhance its consulting capabilities through the development of its existing Consulting Division. Amricon's SMART Solutions Consulting Division provides bespoke solutions for public and private organizations, the key elements of which include client focused needs analysis, creative proposals highlighting new opportunities and customized SMART Solutions aimed at achieving organizational objectives.
