"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 great value for money and it has already generated fantastic response from the market.

"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.
