DUBAI - Sun Microsystems announced yesterday that Bahwan CyberTek (BCT), Oman's leading solutions provider and systems integrator, has joined its partner network, as part of a new iForce collaboration, which will support Oracle's e-business suite across the region.
Specialising in enterprise-level implementations, BCT has provided solutions for several large Middle East organisations and government departments.
In the UAE, the company built Dubai government's e-Pay engine, and it has worked with key government, private corporations and financial institutions across the region and rest-of-the-world.
Under the agreement, BCT, which has offices in Oman, India, the UAE and the US, will leverage its Oracle's e-business suite special and enterprise edition expertise, and Sun's server technology, in developing its enterprise operations, and Web services, across the region. The solutions will be tested at Sun's authorised iForce testing facility at the Tech Access centre. Tech Access, Sun's channel development provider, will provide ongoing support to BCT. "Our focus is to provide market driven solutions, tailored to meet the real-time demands of enterprise. We have extensive experience in deploying e-services in Oman, and by partnering with Sun, with support from Tech Access, we hope to replicate our offerings across the GCC and wider Middle East," said S. Durgaprasad, director and chief executive officer, BCT. BCT has developed a range of best-in-breed products under the brand name CUECENT, which increases employee productivity, return on investment, customer service and operating margins. "Together, BCT and Sun will develop solutions for enterprise, based on the extensive experience of our two companies. We welcome BCT to our partner network, and look forward to developing our relationship," said, Stavros Vougas, channel and marketing manager, Sun Microsystems Middle East & North Africa.
