Infor announced the acquisition of Accentia Middle East, an Infor partner serving the Middle East, North Africa, and India (IMEA) region. The acquisition of Accentia, structured as a purchase of the assets of Accentia Middle East and its affiliates, significantly expands Infor's presence in the region, and comes amid a period of strong growth following the July 2016 announcement of a dedicated IMEA business unit at Inforum, the company's annual user conference.
Based in Cairo, Egypt, Accentia has approximately 80 employees and additional offices in Dubai (UAE), Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), Casablanca (Morocco), and Pune (India). The company has customers in 17 countries across the region and specializes in selling and implementing Infor M3, a comprehensive, centralized enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution for medium to large enterprises in the manufacturing, distribution, and equipment industries.
Infor has been investing heavily in the IMEA region for approximately the last year, increasing its direct presence in sales, services, support, and other functions. The primary focus industries for Infor in IMEA are Manufacturing, Distribution, Retail, Hospitality, and Healthcare.
