Since the beginning of 2005, Altitude Software is fueling strong business growth in the MENA region through the steady addition of new clients and the growth of existing ones. "The GCC is one of the fastest-growing regions for Altitude," said Riadh Boukhris, Altitude Software vice president Middle East, Africa and South Asia. "It is home to a large number of profitable, forward-thinking organisations, several of whom are already Altitude customers. IT spending has been steadily rising in the GCC over the last few years, and we expect that it will continue on this upward trajectory. This trend clearly signals a growing need for world-class customer interaction management solutions."
