The project, according to the two companies, automates Al Ansari's business processes and transactions using ACCPAC™ business applications, running on the Linux operating system and IBM's leading database for the medium enterprise market, IBM DB2 Universal Database.

Mohammed Al Ansari, General Manager of Al Ansari commented saying: 'After a considerable search for the perfect solution, we believe we have made the smartest investment decision in technology, supported by three global technology brands and implemented by two of the leading solutions integrators in Kuwait. Our management continues to invest aggressively, especially when it assists in our expansion needs as well as our attention to the details of our trade and our customer interaction.'

ACCPAC Advantage Series™ is a leading accounting application designed for medium-sized enterprises. The scalability and integration potential of this ACCPAC solution brings to Al Ansari complete freedom to add more business software modules, expand existing benefits of the system, and even migrate its operations, procurement and customer interactions to the Internet. Al Ansari continued: 'These features are amplified when combined with IBM DB2 and Linux.'

Samir Haidar, business development manager at Arabesque, said: 'This is a very powerful implementation for a medium-sized company in Kuwait. KBM & Arabesque delivered to Al Ansari Co. an integrated solution that helps it in managing its inventory to the smallest detail, its relationship with its suppliers as well as its customers, and delivers to the management any time, any place visibility and reporting on the operations.'

Faisal Al-Ragom, Software Account Manager at KBM, elaborated that this solution combines the security and open standards benefits of Linux, the information integrity and the robustness of IBM DB2 and the accuracy and the comprehensiveness of ACCPAC Advantage Series. The solution is running on an IBM rugged Intel based xServer.
