Leading online business resource reaches 50,000 subscribers milestone

The online business resource has reached a milestone of 50,000 subscribers for its personalised "My AME Info" service this week, providing users the benefits of instant e-mail news updates and contact information for listed companies, and exclusive interviews with senior executives.

"We're seeing an increasing number of companies and individuals from around the world look for deeper insight into the Middle East and doing business here," explained Klaus Lovgreen, CEO, AME Info. "They require information to fuel growth, forge partnerships and create the conditions for success. The needs of the business community are always at the forefront of our efforts, and we will continue to develop and innovate in order to deliver improvements to our service."

A number of online innovations have driven the success of the service, according to senior executives at the company. A direct link through to the share price of publicly-traded companies in the region, provided in real-time, has proved immensely popular with local and international investors, as has a property watch-list which enables users to request information on new commercial and residential developments.

Topicality has also provided a major attraction for users. AME Info has been able to provide an in-depth insight into local events and conferences as they happen, most recently launching a dedicated "Defense News" section to coincide with the IDEX exhibition in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

In addition, AME Info has provided valuable information for observers of online trends and developments, chronicling the most popular Web sites in the Middle East through a dedicated feature.

"The Middle East represents a huge market, with significant growth rates and rising opportunities, businesses have access to the right information. There are a few databases for those seeking relevant regional knowledge, but none with the coverage that AME Info provides," said Lars Nielsen, sales director, AME Info.

AME Info currently carries over 40,000 news articles, details of over 95o local events, as well as full contact and activity details of 183,399 companies from 14 countries around the region. With daily news updates categorized according to vertical markets, specialist commentary on the Middle East's financial markets and contributions from guest writers, AME Info offers a comprehensive analysis of business development and activities.
