AXSOS-Germany launches first Middle East Center in Ramallah

RAMALLAH, October 31, 2011 (WAFA) – The German AXSOS AG, an information technology company, launched  Monday in Ramallah its first “center of excellence” in the Middle East.

 

The step will provide 50 to 100 new job opportunities for Palestinian IT graduates and specialists in the next five years, according to company officials.

 

The launch event took place with the presence of a delegation from AXSOS AG in Germany, officials from the Palestinian Authority and the German Representative to the Palestinian Authority, in addition to representatives of the Palestinian ICT sector and entrepreneurs.

 

Prime Minister Salam Fayyad praised the German company’s venture in Palestine, stressing its importance in developing the Palestinian IT sector.

 

He said relations with Germany have always been one of partnership and cooperation, rather than dependent and provider of aid.

 

AXSOS specializes in IT Security, IT Infrastructure and Custom Software Development, according to a press release.

 

It is considered the first IT investor in the Palestinian market which is not a vendor as the company will be involved in the market through providing customer-based IT services.

 

“AXSOS provides its customers with innovative solutions for their business challenges and follows selective sourcing approach which provides customers with the benefit of different cultures and the best of breed solutions,” said the release.

 

“There is a high education rate, wide international exposure, a large number of IT graduates, in addition to the oriental hospitality and friendliness in Palestine. This attracted us to invest in the market,” said Frank Mueller, AXSOS AG CEO explaining the reason behind choosing Ramallah as their first branch in the Middle East.

 

He added, “There are places where you find first-class IT skills. For a long time we have been working with Nearshore experts in order to develop outstanding economic and organizational solutions for our clients. In order to make the distinction available even further, we are launching a center of excellence in Ramallah. For our clients, this means German reliability combined with the unique opportunities of Palestine.”

 

AXSOS has so far invested over 100,000 Euros in equipment and in training Palestinian staff. Currently AXSOS has seven employees in Ramallah serving German customers.
 

The German company's theme is “to provide services with German quality and Palestinian interface,” said the press release.
