3i Infotech, a global technology solutions and services provider celebrate their most recent sell to Yateem Group, a prestigious company known in the vision care industry for over a century. As one of the oldest and loyal consumers of 3i Infotech, Yateem Group entered into a renewed agreement with 3i Infotech & Icon Technology Projects and Services LLC (IT-PRO) to adopt the latest version of 3i Infotech’s Orion 11j ERP solutions.

During the signing ceremony which took place at Yateem Group’s headquarter in Dubai, Mr. Ashish Dass, President, EMEA at 3i Infotech commented, “Yateem Group is a prestigious group in the GCC and this partnership is very valuable to us. Yateem being one of the leading groups in the Optics space who make the best use of technology, not just in their distribution segment but also in their manufacturing lines. Their business is mission critical and related to human health aspects and hence the margin of error is negligible. With such challenges at hand, they looked at various Tier 1 leading ERP solutions in the region, which would fit their complex technological needs and I am glad that they found that with Orion 11j. Orion 11j is the latest addition to the Orion family and highly technologically advanced ERP system. This partnership also endorses the fact that Orion 11j continues to handle diversified businesses with complex technological needs to make complex businesses work simpler.

Babak Kobari, Vice President, MEA at 3i Infotech also added, “Being a strategic partner of Yateem Group and with the support of new managerial features of Orion 11j, we are proud to be associated as one of the contributors to their ongoing continued success and growth in the region.”

Claiming existence for over a century in the Middle East now, Yateem has grown as a high end Optical Fashion and Luxury retail chain with 82 exclusive outlets, distribution center, lens manufacturing unit, hearing aid centre and has also forayed into the real estate business. Yateem has spread its wings all over the G.C.C and has its presence in the U.A.E, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman.

On the occasion of signing this contract, Mr. Khalid A Yateem, Executive Director, Yateem Group said, “We are looking to augment the productivity of our group business by upgrading our efficiency level with 3i Infotech’s professional approach. We are happy to extend our relationship with 3i Infotech as their systems are capable of providing solutions that will not only smoothen the work but also fasten the process. I believe this agreement will not only prove to be a good impact on the business but also go a long way in gratifying our future successors.”

The latest Orion 11j uses the new Java based application J2EEE, which needs a web based set up, making it a three-tier architecture structure. The solutions are fabricated with a true Cloud-based architecture adhering to web 2.0 standards providing choices for Yateem Group on Private and Public clouds increasing their options and adding flexibilities and operational efficiencies.
