Exact Software Indonesia aims to double clients

JAKARTA (JP): Business software provider PT Exact Software
Indonesia says it expects to double the number of its clients
this year as the Indonesian middle market for enterprises
resources planning software has largely been untapped.

General manager Jason Susanto said on Tuesday that Exact would
target medium-sized companies, ranging from one to 100 employees
with an investment of between US$1,000 and $100,000.

"Other companies like Oracle, Jatis and Baan concentrate on
the higher end of the market," he said during a media conference
at Kempinski Hotel Plaza.

He said the company saw a big opportunity for growth because
many medium-sized companies in Indonesia had yet to apply good
and integrated software systems.

"The solution we offer helps medium-sized businesses become
more efficient and competitive," he said.

Exact offers software modules to deal with accounting,
logistics, sales orders, job cost management, customer
information management, reporting, Internet solutions and
multilanguages.

"With an investment of between $15,000 and $50,000, Exact can
set up a module for a company," Jason said. The fee includes
after-sales services like training, consultants, free upgrades
and maintenance, he added.

Jason said that while other products took at least a year to
implement, Exact software could be implemented in two or three
months.

The Netherlands-based company was established in Indonesia in
1998 and has 30 clients, including fast food chain Dunkin Donuts,
silk screen manufacturer PT Stork Screen Indonesia, garment
company PT Bina Busana Internusa and tapioca producer PT Avebe
Indonesia.

Exact listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange in 1999 and has
subsidiaries in 30 countries, including nine in the Asia-Pacific
region. (10)
