Estarta Solutions, a regional IT solutions provider and innovator, has signed a distribution agreement with d.velop International, leading ECM vendor in Europe.

The agreement will provide clients in Mena with sales and implementation support for d.velop’s ecspand solution.

A leading SharePoint provider for 10 years, Estarta is recognized for supplying SharePoint implementation, consultation and training services. While previously SharePoint was primarily used for intranet and Internet portal purposes, now customers are increasingly seeking Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions fully based on SharePoint.

The ecspand solution from d.velop International addresses all needs of SharePoint customers in a single, comprehensive product. ecspand is the first product that allows businesses to perform long-term information and data management as well as archiving (including SAP, Oracle etc.) with SharePoint.

“In addition to a great demand for ECM features expressed by our existing SharePoint customers, a quickly growing number of new customers are turning to us to replace their old stand-alone ECM solutions and archives with a consistent SharePoint-based solution,” said Ahmad Aboudi, director of portals and EPM Unit, Estarta Solutions.

Heinz B Wietfeld, director of sales, d.velop International, said: “Estarta Solutions is the perfect partner for a SharePoint-oriented ECM provider like us; they have an impeccable reputation with the customers and with Microsoft, a large customer base, highly qualified solutions architects, as well as a tight support network covering the region.”

As the sales and implementation partner d.velop’s ecspand, Estarta Solutions will provide regional customers with partner to implement and support the ECM customers. Estarta Solutions will make available implementation and ongoing consulting services for ecspand in the Mena region.
