The True Post (Web News)Montreal-based technology company OneOffice has signed a commercial agreement with Islamabad-based IT firm Ziel Global to introduce its services in Pakistan. Under the agreement, the companies will provide domain-based business email, cloud hosting and a comprehensive suite of office software solutions to Pakistani customers.
The development marks an important step towards expanding the presence of Canadian technology companies in Pakistan and attracting international investment in the country’s IT sector. The agreement aims to provide modern digital solutions to public- and private-sector organizations in Pakistan at significantly lower costs.
Flexible Data Hosting and Greater Control for Users
One of the key features of the OneOffice platform is that customers can choose their preferred cloud environment according to their requirements and organizational policies. The platform also offers the option of hosting data on private servers, allowing Pakistani organizations to manage their data in line with applicable government policies and security requirements.
The integrated platform brings together advanced email services, document creation and editing, file sharing, instant messaging, video conferencing, project management, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and artificial intelligence (AI) integration within a single application. According to the company, the platform also incorporates encryption to help protect data and communications.
Potential for Millions of Dollars in Annual Savings
According to estimates presented in connection with the agreement, millions of domain-based email accounts and office software subscriptions are currently in use across Pakistan. Users spend an average of approximately US$84 annually on each account or subscription.
With OneOffice offering its products at less than half the price of comparable global competitors, Pakistani businesses and institutions could significantly reduce their software expenses. Estimates suggest that widespread adoption of the platform could generate annual savings worth hundreds of millions of US dollars for Pakistan.
OneOffice Already Serves Multiple International Markets
OneOffice is already providing services to governments and major enterprises in several countries, including Algeria, Cameroon, Egypt, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia and South Africa, through its international channel partners.
Its partners include STC, Zain, Vodafone, SITA, Telecom, Ethio Telecom, MTN and Djezzy.
Pakistan’s Consul General in Montreal Facilitates the Agreement
The commercial agreement was facilitated by Faisal Abro, Consul General of Pakistan in Montreal, as part of ongoing efforts to attract international IT companies and create new business and investment opportunities in Pakistan.
The initiative is also aligned with the Government of Pakistan’s vision of expanding the country’s digital technology sector, strengthening its IT ecosystem and encouraging international technology partnerships.
