ACCUCOMS, a provider of sales and marketing services for publishers, will now represent Ephorus in the Middle East and North Africa regions. Ephorus is a Dutch organisation that aims to support educational establishments in the prevention of plagiarism. It enables the owners of content to check and protect their work and it can assist students in dealing with information in an honest and transparent manner.
The company is currently a market leader in Europe and more than 5,000 schools and universities use the Ephorus software. Tens of thousands of documents are checked each and every day in over 46 different countries.
According to Simon Boisseau, Sales Director at ACCUCOMS, the investment rates for higher education in MENA are relatively high and universities are currently looking at ways to better meet the needs of students who will later compete in the job market. Ephorus will therefore be useful to academic institutions since it helps them work towards getting the best out of their students and addressing plagiarism head-on and in a proactive manner.
