eHosting DataFort (eHDF), a leading IT services provider and a member of Tecom Investments, has been appointed by Tejuri.com to host and manage the e-shopping mall supported by the Dubai Department of Economic Development (DED).

The online mall launched in March features more than 45 retailers, representing over 150 brands.

Tejuri.com offers retailers with the facility to showcase their products on the website and they can also manage the online presence of their brand, receive payment from customers, and process purchases online via the self-developed application without investing in hardware, software or infrastructure.

eHDF is delivering a comprehensive managed hosting solution for Tejuri.com by estimating the size of the required IT infrastructure, and offering infrastructure as a service (IaaS) for hosting the customized application within eHDF’s private cloud, said a statement.

Yasser Zeineldin, CEO, eHDF, said: “We are pleased to partner with Tejuri.com in this comprehensive and state-of-the-art implementation that is enabling e-commerce in the Middle East. Our cloud based solutions, technical expertise, track record of providing best in class reliability and uptime positioned us as the partner of choice for Tejuri.com.”  

Ayaz Maqbool, MD, Tejuri.com, said: “There is great potential for eCommerce in the Middle East with the internet-savvy younger generation leading the trend in online shopping. However, to tap into this fast-growing segment and generate significant revenue, local retailers require a strong, secure and reliable eCommerce infrastructure." - TradeArabia News Service
