The company has said that recent regional growth, combined with identified sales potential across the Middle East, has meant that Cognos must now turn its focus more heavily to supporting its growing number of channel partners.

"Cognos has registered exponential growth and, to support our operations, we are expanding our dedicated local presence in target markets," said Derek Morrison, Cognos regional general manager. "This move includes bringing on high-level, senior personnel to support our ambitious growth targets."

Cognos Middle East has appointed Loui Okasha as Business Development Manager with effect from 1 June.

Loui Okasha comes to Cognos from rival firm Hyperion, bringing more than 10 years of sales experience, gained in account management, sales management, and business development roles.

"With Loui's track record and business experience, we are confident that he will be able to grow our business in the region as it enters a new phase of development," added Morrison.
