Optimiza (Al-Faris National Investments) said is aiming to surpass its business plan for 2008, and achieving a revenue growth that exceeds 170 per cent compared to last year through participation in the Gitex Technology Week.

Royah is one of the largest Oracle Certified Advantage Partners in the Saudi Arabia.

Optimiza's involvement in Gitex comes as a testament to its commitment to expand on a regional level, particularly in the Gulf and Saudi Arabian markets, and as a continuation of its successful growth in the Gulf markets, especially after its regional launch in the 2007 Gitex exhibition.

The company will have a notable presence at Um Al-Quwain VIP room, located at the second floor within the DWTC, where Optimiza's management team from its Jordan, UAE and Saudi Arabia offices will be conducting private meetings with customers and partners.

Also, Optimiza will be exhibiting its solutions within Oracle's pavilion in Hall 5 at stations 8, 26 and 47, and the Kiosk team from Optimiza Dubai will be managing the kiosks installed within the exhibition.

Optimiza will be focusing on presenting Oracle based IPs and solutions, which include e-Hope, AMAN, E-Business Suite, Data Warehousing, Siebel CRM, Siebel Contact Center, Workforce Management, Asset Lifecycle Management, Hyperion, Mobility Solutions, EPBL and SOA.

Hazem Malhas, Optimiza's CEO, said: 'Gitex Week presents a unique opportunity to network and build rapport with pioneers in the ICT industry from various parts of the Middle East and the world.

We look forward to continuing our path of success, which our clients and partners have been part of, and building upon it.'

Hussam Al Deen Al-Mabrouk, CEO of Royah Optimiza, added: 'We take pride in participating in this unique event, through which we aim to reflect a positive image for the ambitious Arab enterprises by providing the highest quality in Information Technology services and solutions to various sectors.'
