QME asks visitors to win with new Toad version

Dubai-based IT consulting outfit QME Software is using this year’s GITEX Technology Week as a platform to launch Version 10 of the Toad productivity software for database development and administration, as well as announcing the latest stage of the firm’s expansion plans.

“With regard to Toad 10, we have a number of different offers for visitors to our stand. “They can win either a reduced or waived licence fee,” says Jose Bustamante, General Manager.

QME Software is also launching the new www.toad.ae website, a new online community and forum that provides access for all Toad users in the Middle East, and allows them to share their experiences, tips and tricks.

Via the company’s exclusive partnership with Quest Software in the Middle East, QME Software is using its connections with a range of platform vendors such as Microsoft, virtualisation specialist  VMware and database giant Oracle to try and discover new ways of improving their clients’ native management capabilities.

“I’m also very excited to announce that in the next couple of months, we’ll be opening our first office in Saudi Arabia,” adds Bustamante. “We’ve been working towards this for 18 months, and it will be a great market for us. In addition, we’ll be opening an office in Qatar in 2010, and maybe a location in Bahrain.”

Bustamante says GITEX offers a strong opportunity to engage with different partners: “We’ve been very good at acquiring companies that have put us in a strong postion, and when it comes to partnerships with Microsoft, we can say we are a leader.”
