AgreeYa Solutions expands its presence in the Middle East Folsom, CA (August 1, 2008) - AgreeYa Solutions, a leading global provider of technology and business services and solutions, has announced the expansion of its presence in the EMEA marketplace with a local presence in Dubai and dedicated sales focus, to augment its Middle East (ME) operations formed two years ago.

According to a recent report by Global Insight, a leading economic and financial analysis company, IT spending in the EMEA region is set to exceed that in the US for the first time ever this year. Global Insight predicts that as the US economy slows down, IT spending in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa will surpass that in the US, with the Middle East being one of the fastest growing IT markets worldwide. Total IT spending in the Middle East should reach $73 billion this year, increasing to $95 billion by 2011.

AgreeYa's newly expanded ME sales team will focus on the UAE, Oman, and Saudi Arabia markets with offerings such as Application Development & Management, Portal Development, Outsourcing Services, Enterprise Application Implementation Services, E-Learning, and Mobile solutions. Over the last two years, AgreeYa has received growing demand in both Enterprise and Government verticals within the ME market.

AgreeYa's local partner in Dubai, Xcel Technology Solutions FZCO, is an IT company providing technology solutions integrating hardware, software, networking, communications and total support in the Middle East, Levant, and African regions.

"I am encouraged by the IT spend boom and our success in the Middle East market over the last 12 months," says Ajay Kaul, Managing Partner at AgreeYa. "Our customers want us to have a local presence to build stronger relationships and further our understanding of their business. All this led us to enter the next phase of our market penetration with a local presence."
