From a delivery standpoint, Zema is clearly a new standard for Data Management. Its ability to handle massive volumes of data, unique security model and agnostic nature is difficult for competitors to match. In 2009, nearly half of Zema’s client acquisitions involved converting clients’ existing systems to Zema implementations from a competitive product. These clients moved to Zema because of the overall value proposition Zema provides: functionality, flexibility, maintainability, cost and ease of integration.
After winning Data Management House of the Year – Energy Risk 2009, and closing contracts with some of the world’s top energy and commodities companies, Zema is confident in its grip on the market. Dr. Zak El-Ramly, President and CEO of Zema explained “Simply put, this is a confirmation of what we believe. We’ve reached a turning point as a corporation and now we are heavily strategizing on maintaining the standards we have set for the industry, while keeping our client satisfaction at an unbeatable high.

Waleed El-Ramly, COO of Product Development attributes Zema’s high ranking to a dedication to produce a practical, yet innovative, solution bundled with superior customer services that help fully integrate Zema across an organization. He commented, “I believe our #1 rank for Preferred System came from Zema’s flexibility. It is truly an agnostic system that can be scaled for any size user-base; and it is no surprise this Preferred System rank is combined with ‘Ease of integration’. Zema’s integration capability is difficult to match, and we make it painless for our clients to connect to any downstream system.” Waleed added, “As for #1 in Best Customer Service, this is a corporate culture that has been with Zema since day 1.
