Our Saudi Arabia road show was a resounding success, and we made a great splash into a new market with our new partner MIS. We delivered fully Arabic presentations to over 70 attendees in the major cities of Jeddah, Riyadh and Dhahran. The audiences clearly were excited about our technology and the solutions presented. Hands on demos, personal discussions on current projects and needs, and invitations for follow up on-site meetings were the norm. Return trips to a number of agencies are planned, and we have already changed the face of a recently awarded deal, with the intent that the awarded vendor will implement our technology instead of custom build.
The product presentations consisted of: citizen, back office, maps, and mobile, as well as future technology demonstrations. The product was fully configured and delivered in the Arabic language, including use of the local currency, and across the verticals of Land Management, Asset Management, Licensing and Case Management, and Service Request. Our multi-user mobile demonstration environment performed impressively, and we look forward to resulting new opportunities arising business for the Accela Middle East/African Region.
