Participating at GITEX for the first time, the company is targeting an impressive 100 per cent year-on-year business growth in the MEA region - one of its strongest potential markets.

"We currently have over 100 clients across the MEA region, mainly concentrated in the services area. We are confident our debut at such an important industry event as GITEX, will rejuvenate our ties with existing customers and partners, and forge key new relationships within the industry,"

Additionally, Ingres is highlighting its latest BI products - pre-configured software packages that enable companies to implement business services quickly and manage information within the organisational structure more effectively using ready-made analytics.

"BI projects are one of the highest priorities for CIOs and our offering represents a strong commitment to providing customers a comprehensive solution that can address costs of ownership, integration and maintenance," said Steve Shine, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales & Services, Ingres.
