Infor renews India, Middle-East and Africa focus

: Infor, a New York headquartered company that specialises in enterprise software, today announced a new thrust on India, the Middle East and Africa withthe creation of its IMEA business unit.
Tarik Taman, who has led Infor's global HCM (Human Capital Management) business since 2009, will lead the IMEA business unit from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the company said in a release.
Under Taman's leadership, Infor plans toquintuple its market share in the region by 2020, it added.
"With more than 5,000 existing customers, Inforalready has a solid footprint across the region, but thegrowth opportunities are virtually limitless,"Infor General Manager (IMEA) Tarik Taman said.

"India is one of the few major economies worldwide still growing at near double digits. The Middle East istransforming itself from oil-based economies to the private sector,driving large investments in the cloud, and Africa is the last economic frontier - all factors that made creating a dedicated IMEA region a compelling decision for Infor," he said.
Infor said that to support its IMEA business, the companyhas made several appointments in the region, both at its hub inDubai's Internet City and in its newly opened office in the iconic Kingdom Tower in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Across the region, Infor now has more than 2,100 employees.

Infor's expanded direct presence will complement its existing network of partners across the region and provide sales, services, value engineering, marketing, and other functions, it added.
