Rock Software Solutions is willing to make profits of about EGP 240 million by the end of 2012, to be used in opening new opportunities for marketing their products in Egypt and Gulf countries and participating in the projects launched by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology to aid people with disabilities. Khaled Al-Askary, CEO of Rock Software Solutions, said his company aims to achieve EGP 68 million profits in Egypt, EGP 170 million in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and the Sultanate of Oman. He pointed out that the company's profits in Gulf countries reached about EGP 34 million during the first half of the current year while no profits have been made in Egypt due to the political events that the country witnessed in the last period.
