Aris Global Signs First Middle East Customer on agOnDemandTM SaaS Platform
SPIMACO Joins Aris Global's List of 50+ Customers Leveraging SaaS for Greater Cost Efficiency

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aris Global, the market-leading provider of solutions for life sciences, today announced that Saudi Pharmaceutical Industries & Medical Appliances Corporation (SPIMACO) has selected the ARISgTM pharmacovigilance solution on the agOnDemandTM software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery platform. SPIMACO is a Saudi joint-stock company with a main objective of setting up an advanced pharmaceutical industry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for the local production of medicines and medical appliances and to market these products inside the Kingdom and for export.
SPIMACO joins more than 50 other Aris Global customers who have selected agOnDemand, the hosted delivery platform for Aris Global's product suite, covering safety and pharmacovigilance, regulatory affairs, clinical research and medical information. Each hosted SaaS offering can either be configured and integrated with other systems within and across their enterprise, or can be quickly deployed as an out-of-the-box "swift" solution if no such requirements are needed.

"It is vitally important that we align ourselves with best-in-class partners to achieve our vision and objectives," said Eng. Ahmed Al-Rebdi, VP Manufacturing & Technical Affairs, at SPIMACO. "Aris Global has a strong track record in quickly delivering its hosted solutions to its agOnDemand client base and we achieved the same rapid implementation success. We are quite satisfied with the support and the assistance provided by the implementation team of Aris Global, and we hope that our mutual cooperation in our business relationship will further flourish in the days to come."

"We are very pleased that SPIMACO has selected ARISg on the agOnDemand platform," said Vikram Anand, head of agOnDemand & global customer support at Aris Global. "Our growing customer base and the success we have achieved since we first offered agOnDemand four years ago, is because we provide a range of services that ensure a rapid start-up for every customer. We fully host the system on high-powered servers, perform daily backups, offer disaster recovery services, and provide 24/7 help-desk support to customers. Unlike other hosted systems that are developed and maintained by third-parties, agOnDemand upgrades are performed by Aris Global. Our customers are assured of having a hosted solution that reflects the same innovative, up-to-date technology we offer to our customers who implement and use our licensed software products."
