ASPGulf
is hosting a CRM application from Canon, which comes ERP (for
enterprise resource planning) integrated and allows access
to Canon M.E.’s offices, employees and business partners.
The contract includes dedicated servers running on Microsoft
platform. The application and database servers are located
and managed at ASPGulf’s data centre in Dubai. The contract
was signed and managed through ASPGulf’s authorized channel
partner, CAD GULF. It is also the first since ASPGulf and
CAD Gulf signed a hosting partnership to promote the former’s
managed hosting services. “This cost-effective hosting service
has made it possible for our Middle East distributor network
to come under one centralized system,” said Adrian Low, manager
– service support department, Canon M.E. Until now, Canon
M.E. had managed its resources by focusing on serving its
distributors, channel partners and customers within the existing
Canon head office applications. These were installed within
its own LAN (local area network) at its office in Dubai Internet
City. Canon is also planning to host its Middle East Web portal
with ASPGulf within the next few weeks. Launched in March,
2000, as the Middle East’s first application service provider,
ASPGulf is part of the Al Bawardi Enterprises.
