Sage Serves Middle East Clients From Dubai
DUBAI, UAE, February 12 /PRNewswire/ -- With great confidence and unwavering belief, SAGE SA from Switzerland opened up its new branch in the main hub of Information Technology in the GCC, at the Dubai Internet City, right in the heart of Dubai, UAE. Following its successes in Europe and in South East Asia, SAGE decided to expand to the Middle East with a new office and with their flagship banking software, Prospero. Sage Advanced Solutions FZ-LLC was established in Dubai so that it can be closer to its clients all over the GCC. Despite the financial crisis, SAGE believes that there is huge potential in the region and a strong need as well to systemize and organize processes in financial institutions. As Jean-Luc Freymond, CEO of SAGE states: our banking system, Prospero will not only streamline the banking processes in the Middle East, but we will also bring our expertise in Swiss banking to the region. Tarek Hamdan, CMO of Sage, adds: We are confident that even though markets are going through tough times, the GCC will remain upbeat and that now is the time for financial institutions to invest for the near future, for the comeback growth of their industry. In affirmation of this confidence, Sage continues to actively participate in related finance and banking events globally, the latest of which is the MEFTEC Banking and Financial Technology Event, held yearly in Manama, Bahrain. It was held this year from February 10 and 11 at the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre. Hamdan will be heading the whole MENA region from the office's operations in Dubai. Sage also has a branch in Singapore which handles the South East Asian operations. SAGE (http://www.sage.ch), headquartered in Lausanne (Switzerland), is becoming the new reference when it comes to providing integrated modular Front to Back Office Banking systems.
