Dubai: XSinfoways, an auto-mation network solutions company, is witnessing increased demand in times of the global credit crisis.

Automation, the processing of data through control systems, greatly reduces the need for human intervention.

Companies that have not reached full automation can carry out various operations without the need for IT persons who process data.

Commenting on the need for automation, Amit Pasari, chief executive of XiInfoways, told Gulf News that because it eliminates manpower requirements and cuts costs, it is a very attractive solution for companies at the moment.

"With the global credit crisis, everyone is looking to cut costs," he said.

Partners wanted

While mentioning that not many corporations are aware of the saving solution, he said, "We can reduce the IT costs of a company by 90 per cent with automation."

Fuelled by this demand, the company is looking for partners at Gitex to expand its offices.

"From Dubai, we can enter any market," Navin Soneja, director of XSinfoways said, speaking of the credibility of a Dubai-based company in international markets.
