Johannesburg, 29 Jan 2009

EOH has acquired REO Consulting, an Oracle remote technical support operation based in Centurion. This newly forged relationship supports EOH's vision to aggressively drive annuity business across the organisation, says Brian Gubbins, EOH Business Development Director.

He explains that REO Consulting forms part of the EOH's Navigor business unit. Navigor is recognised as the leading Oracle implementation partner in southern Africa. “The synergies between the two companies make this a sensible partnership, and one we are sure will reinforce EOH's exemplary track record and reputation for developing partners for life.”

Remote enterprise outsourcing is what the acronym stands for, explains REO's MD Raymond Watt. Having established itself as an industry leader in remote technical support over the past six years, Watt says the EOH merger has brought renewed vigour to the company.

“It's an extraordinary opportunity for us to achieve further growth. Our business is completely annuity-based and we believe strongly in a 'true client for life' business ethic - factors that effortlessly fit in with the philosophies of EOH.”
