ACCPAC launches India operations

ACCPAC India Pvt. Ltd., based in Bangalore, is led by Rajesh Ghosh, who has been named CEO of this subsidiary.

ACCPAC India's immediate focus is on expanding its partner channel to leverage ACCPAC's end-to-end e-business management applications, including ACCPAC Advantage Series, ACCPAC Pro Series, and ACCPAC eCRM. ACCPAC India will also offer Simply Accounting, ACCPAC's small-business accounting product, a version of which has been specially developed for sale in India.

"India is an important, emerging market," said ACCPAC President and CEO, David M. Hood. "Establishing a presence in Bangalore strengthens our ability to serve our existing customers and address new market opportunities."

"The Indian market has developed a reputation for high-quality technical skills and, as a result, is experiencing tremendous growth among small and mid-size companies that are well connected internationally," said Mr. Ghosh, CEO of ACCPAC India. "ACCPAC solutions are ideal for these growing companies, offering modular systems that can meet their particular needs today, and map directly to them as they grow and manage trade around the world."

ACCPAC India will operate with a full complement of sales and technical staff experienced in serving small to mid-size businesses. Marc Van der Ven, ACCPAC Middle East's General Manager added: "Due to the proximity between ACCPAC's India and Dubai operations we will be able to leverage each other's resources to the benefit of our customers in the region. This will add tremendous value to both our regional partners and customers."
