Epicor Scala in new channel strategy, announces Conjoint Development Group as partner in Kuwait

Commenting on its focus on reinforcing its channel presence in the MEA region by joining hands with leading regional IT companies, senior officials of Epicor Scala in the Middle East said the new Kuwait partner, Conjoint Development Group (CDG), will enhance the company's presence in the region by providing enterprise business solutions to a wide range of its customers in Kuwait.

Mr. Basil Daniells, channel manager of Epicor Scala MEA, said, "We are in the process of streamlining our channel strategy and are on the lookout for new channel partners to expand our geographical footprint. The need to reinforce the channel presence is an imperative for Epicor Scala as our business expands with new and potential users for our ERP suite and other enterprise products coming on board."
