GBM already shares a longstanding relationship with Salesforce.com and offers its full range of Cloud-based Business Applications. With this partnership, supported by a highly skilled team, GBM will bring local capabilities and expertise to customers in the region. In addition, GBM will also offer service, training and after sales-support to its customers.

“We are very pleased to be business partners with Salesforce.com to cover the GCC region. This partnership validates not only our longstanding relationship, but also our commitment to bringing to the market and our customers cutting-edge cloud based solutions tailored to fulfill their needs and meet the level of support they require,” said Ali Hosseini, Director of Professional Services, GBM.

“We are proud to collaborate with GBM to bring our offering to the region,” said Stephane Viallet, VP Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa, Salesforce.com. “By joining our forces, customers will have access to world class expertise and counsel before, during and after the implementation of a project.”
