CBKSoft, an InfoFort company, announced a partnership agreement with Plustek, a global manufacturer of image capture scanners.

Commenting on the new offerings, Salih Kanli, General Manager, CBKSoft said, “We are pleased to enter into a business alliance with Plustek. Through our partnership, we look forward to enabling businesses to reduce their time spent on manual data entry, operational expenses and unnecessary delays that can have a negative impact on the company’s ROI.”

In April 2015 InfoFort, a susbsidiary of Aramex, announced the acquisition of a 51% stake in Turkey-based CBKSoft Software. Aramex first entered the Turkish market in 1998 and now has 12 offices across the country. The acquisition of CBKSoft provides significant opportunities for Aramex and InfoFort to continue their regional expansion, taking advantage of increasing demand for information management and business solutions.
CBKSoft offers a range of innovative IT services including its state-of-the-art enVision document and workflow management system. These services complement InfoFort’s comprehensive suite of records and information management solutions.
The acquisition will further expand InfoFort’s reach in the region by giving Turkish customers greater access to its client–focused, technology-driven solutions. InfoFort services, including physical records management, electronic records management, media and tape vaulting and rotation and secure data destruction will be gradually introduced to the Turkish market.
At the same time, enVision and other CBKSoft services will also be exported to InfoFort’s markets across the Middle East and Africa. Since enVision is available in five different languages and can be easily integrated into routine business operations, the service can be adopted in diverse market environments. The management of CBKSoft will remain the same and continue to manage the company following the acquisition.
With the Middle East and Africa expected to post the world’s highest cloud traffic growth rate by 2018, customer demand for digitisation and secure data storage will continue to increase rapidly. CBKSoft and InfoFort are aligned in their efforts to help regional customers meet this increased demand, making the deal a logical, strategic fit.
Established in 2004, CBKSoft provides a range of IT solutions including business process management, project management, software development, archive management, record management, form integration and electronic signatures. Its in-depth IT experience is driven by a highly qualified team of computer and industrial engineers who have successfully implemented projects in Turkey and Silicon Valley in the US.
