Transtek Systems is a business software firm in the Middle East. [1] [2] [3] Transtek System's flagship product is Compass ERP , a dual language (English-Arabic) enterprise resource planning system. According to the major Arab daily Al-Hayat, Compass ERP was the local alternative in Syria after US economic sanctions prohibited major international technology and ERP vendors to sell their products in Syria. [4] Transtek System's Compass ERP package has an estimated 80% marketshare, also due to lack of competition. [5] Another product that filled a gap created by sanctions was Compass AML, the first anti-money laundering system produced in the Arab World. [6]

Transtek System's CEO Abdulsalam Haykal was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2009. [7]
