Sales and the 'Talent Magnet'

A lot is written about being a ‘Talent Magnet’, either as a company, or as President. It’s all good practice – listen, mentor, reward, provide clear goals and career maps. Good practice for the employer, but what about the employee?

Since its inception, NBT was focusing on creating value to clients and allowing them to maximally utilize Oracle Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) applications with an extremely competitive prices thus securing their investment and reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

One of NBT early engagements in the Saudi market was Health Check services which was held for a troubled Oracle ERP implementation with one of the major customers within the region who was struggling to go live for more than two years. Once NBT resources were mobilized on site the client immediately realized the difference, and the small engagement was followed by complete re-implementation project for the same scope and within only six months, NBT succeeded to turn the troubled implementation to a great success story. Since then, NBT was always recommended as a professional implementation partner who owns competent resources and capable for delivery.

NBT is a pioneer in implementing new solutions within the Saudi market. In 2004 NBT was the first Oracle implementation partner in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to deliver the first successful Customer Relationship Management System (Oracle CRM) to a private sector Organization. Moreover, NBT was the first Oracle implementation partner to implement a full Real Estate Solution for Real Estate & Development Company in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including the Oracle Property Management module integrated with MapGuide software for online booking.

With more than seven years of solid experience and numerous success stories in various industries even with no previous industry related experience, NBT positioned itself as one of the most respectable and best implementation partners within the region owning competent knowledgeable professional consultants who are flexible to understand any new industry aspects and capable to implement the best practices fulfilling the relevant standards and / or regulations.

 2- Streamlined transaction processing
 3- Provides operations-level reporting.

NBT is considered as one of the few partners who are capable of delivering professional services to Oracle clients covering the complete life cycle of the Enterprise Resources Planning. Starting from the early engagement with the clients to identify their existing pains and its relevant consequences and determine their strategic business objectives and decide how to transform them into the best value of money solution that is practical, realistic and achievable within the shortest possible time frame thus maximizing the clients Return On Investment (ROI). Leading safely the customer through the risky ERP implementation process, and identifying the key success factors, and continuously providing the required support and maintenance activities in a flexible Service Level Agreements (SLA) that suits the clients’ needs and expectations.

As a reputable local Oracle implementation partner, NBT adopts the On Site implementation model and provides its professional services through its resident consultants within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, thus saving great deal of time and eliminating the risk of implementation failures due to either using the Off Shore model or by using non- KSA resident consultants who are mobilized on visit visas.

Beside the need of resident consultants, the ability to communicate with multi-cultural environment and understanding the local traditions, culture and environment are considered as major success factors for the ERP implementation projects. Having skilled bi-lingual consultants (Arabic / English) with KSA culture and traditions experience qualifies NBT far ahead of its competitors as the best implementation partner within KSA.

Finally, for Oracle clients who suffer from troubled implementation or those who seek rapid successful ERP implementations and they are looking for a long term business partner and a trusted advisor capable for their business transformation, rather than an implementation vendor / supplier, NBT will always be available to provide its professional value adding services thus building a win-win fruitful successful engagements.
