October 29, 2004 Pakistani Oracle Partner, Ora-Tech Systems, has chosen to partner with basis2 as its billing and customer information system (CIS) offering. Already experienced within the utility sector, Ora-Tech saw the basis2 partnership as the perfect vehicle to gain additional business within the utilities sector in Pakistan and surrounding countries.

Andy Wong, basis2 Asia Pacific Territory Manager said:

“Our expansion plans into Asia Pacific have been bolstered by the appointment of Ora-Tech Systems, the largest and oldest Oracle partner in Pakistan. Their imposing track record and vast project experience will definitely be a key factor in the success of our partnership in addressing the CIS needs in this territory. We are extremely excited about the upcoming opportunities in the energy as well as the water sector in Pakistan and the strength of our solution with the local know-how of Ora-Tech is set to make an impression in the market”

Ora-Tech’s Chief Operating Officer, Ali Abedi, is equally buoyed by this partnership and commented:

“basis2 completes our Oracle portfolio as a billing and CIS system was the missing link. What I really like about this partnership is the timing; in Pakistan utility companies are switching over from legacy systems to the latest billing system technology with CRM features. They are also looking for features like call centres. ”

basis2 is built on an Oracle platform so it integrates seamlessly with other modules of Oracle’s E-Business Suite addressing the system integration requirements of utility customers. As Oracles’ largest and oldest partner in Pakistan and with offices throughout the country and the Middle East, Ora-Tech is well positioned to leverage their existing relationships and offer a complete Oracle solution to existing and new Utility clients.
