There are 'excellent opportunities for the software industry in the Middle East at the moment,' according to Jean-Christophe Knoertzer, Regional Manager, IBM Software, Middle East, north Africa and Pakistan.

The company has announced that it has increased the number of staff working with IBM software from a team of two to twenty eight specialists in just 18 months.

"We have brought in people covering all areas of our business including specialists in web infrastructure development, data, systems management and security and e-learning," says Knoertzer. "We have seen substantial growth across all of these areas in the last year with major project wins such as Juffali.com, Petrocommerce.com, Bazaar1.com and Standard Chartered Bank. We expect to see increased opportunities across all areas in the months ahead."
