Regional IT leader Asseco SEE and Xerox, global leader in the area of business processes and document management, signed a contract on cooperation and joint access to the markets of Middle East and North Africa on the last day of GITEX, an ICT fair which closes today in Dubai, United Arabian Emirates. The agreement was signed by Vladan Atanasijević member of the Board of Asseco SEE and Andrew Horne, General Manager of the company Xerox in the UAE. Apart from the contract, Asseco SEE organized a training for XEROX sales representatives who shall be marketing Asseco's solution for optimization of banking processes ASEBA BPS, software developed in Serbia.

“We represented our state-of-the-arts product – a multiple award winning solution ASEBA BPS, and we aim to export this solution to the Middle East and African markets in cooperation with our global partner EMC Corporation. We believe that there is a considerable market gap in these markets which would enable export of products and services of Serbian ICT companies,” Vladan Atanasijević, Member of UO Asseco SEE said and added that “IT industry and software export might become one of the main strongholds of Serbian economy provided that this field is approached systematically and in an organized manner, that the rules valid in developed countries are introduces, that strategic development directions are established, and that Government provides their help and support.“

The solution which enables processing of twice as much documents at the same time has been implemented in several banks of south-eastern Europe, among which there are: Komercijalna banka a.d. Beograd, Poštanska štedionica a.d. Beograd (processing 68 million documents a year), Societe Generale banks in Serbia and Albania, and Eurobank a.d. Beograd. ASEBA BPS software implementation and maintenance projects cost from a few thousand to a few million euro, depending on size and segment of the business requiring the system. The software won the award of EMC, global IT leader, at the distinguished IT conference in Vienna, Momentum Vienna 12, at the end of the last year, as one of the most comprehensible banking solutions of this type.

Asseco SEE, the regional IT leader, participated in this year’s GITEX, in organization of the Serbian Investment and Export Promotion Agency (SIEPA), together with a few more selected Serbian IT companies. At this fair, which has been held more than three decades, Serbia for the first time took part as a partner country.
