For years, Focus has been providing best-in-class solutions to the SME segment. We are now paving inroads into the enterprise segment with our flexible and scalable ERP product – Focus RT. We are seriously looking at winning customers in newer markets that we have not penetrated before such as Egypt, Jordan and Syria," he adds.
