Oman note
Most relevant to structural, road and utility design work rather than general contracting or bookkeeping. Times of Oman reported in December 2022 that OQ won one of Bentley's Going Digital Awards in Infrastructure. Bentley lists no Oman office, so ask who supports it locally before you buy.
Focus Softnet

Cons

- − OTA accreditation for e-invoicing not confirmed in this check
- − Broad ERP: expect an implementation project
Oman note
Focus Softnet has an Oman company and a Muscat office (MBD Business Center, Ruwi), so there is a local team to ask about implementation. Its Oman site says it is 'Oman E-Invoicing Ready'; ask for proof of its Fawtara status with the Oman Tax Authority before you rely on it for e-invoicing.
