Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Focus Softnet, the leading software development company in the Middle East, announced that they have signed Storm Computers as a platinum partner to distribute Focus Reach across the UAE. Storm Computers, a leading distributor of IT Products in the UAE, has recruited an experienced team of sales and support staff to promote and sell Focus Reach through their channel partners and reseller across all the Emirates in the UAE. This partnership has already yielded great results with Storm Computers selling more than 800 copies of Focus Reach through its reseller network and signing up eight new channel partners to promote the low-cost business solution.

"We are happy to partner with Focus Softnet as a platinum partner to promote Focus Reach in the UAE. Storm Computers has been using Focus' products for the last ten years and we are very satisfied with their products. Focus Reach is an amazing solution for small businesses and home users as it is not only feature-rich with many functionalities but it is also lower in cost than any other product in its category. Focus Reach is great value for money and it has already generated fantastic response from the market. It will be a treat for customers who are planning to install or switch to a new accounting software as previously there was limited choice in low cost accounting software in this market. The Arabised version of the product is also very popular in the region," says Mr. Abid Razvi, Managing Director, Storm Computers.

"We were confident Focus Reach would do very well in this region and hence we decided to recruit a strong team of sales and support professionals to exclusively promote this product. We have an entire marketing plan in place to push the sales of Focus Reach across channels and through retail. We also rented advertising kiosks in Abu Dhabi to demonstrate the benefits of this product to customers. We have signed eight channel partners so far and look forward to adding at least ten more by the year end," Mr. Razvi added.

Focus Reach, the low cost business management solution specifically designed for small businesses and SOHO operations, offers several features and tools that makes installation as easy as plug-and-play. The product’s modules cover every aspect of an organisation’s functioning including Financials, Sales, Inventory, Purchase, Production, Payroll and Postdated Cheque Management. There has been great demand for Focus Reach in the market as it is great value for money. The company has sold thousands of copies of the software since its launch in November 2006.

“We are happy to partner with Storm Computers as the first Focus Reach distributor in the UAE. Storm Computers has a strong reseller and customer network combined with the vision, knowledge and expertise to make Focus Reach a recognized name in the region. We are looking forward to working closely with Storm Computers and are confident that this partnership will help Focus Reach strengthen its position in the UAE.
