Jeppesen is probably the leader, but relatively expensive and poorly supported IMO. If you're just a one-jet outfit don't expect a huge amount of interest from them.
PPS by Air Support will do the job. It's simpler than Jepp, cheaper, and more than adequate provided it's been set-up properly.

I have to say, and please excuse me, but Jeppesen is very reliable, the norm for it 'not working correctly' is individuals who have not been trained correctly on using the software .....

Jeppesen is the leader! No one can argue with it, but I'm working in Africa & training the individual correctly is almost always a tall order around here, specially when dealing with language issues. That is why we wanna try something eles as well. If not than always can come back to adding DO328J to the existing option.

I think it would be ideal for Africa, because it will download weather information automatically, and display METARs, TAFs, synoptics, upper winds, etc. - this is especially useful in Africa, where is is not always possible to get this information locally.

Lido will only work with fleets starting from 5 aircrafts
Jeppesen jetplan is a good choice apart from their account manager may be busy some times and that would get you waiting some time for weeks before you could adjust a very simple thing , while for customer support their GSSC is quite helpful , you just need to speak to the right person (Jennifer, Brian or Linda)
You can use SITA Flightplanning as well but it's very expensive as it charge your per request not like jetplan which gives you open unlimited flightplans and for around 400 euros if you are operating 1 aircraft only

xuejiesandi,
You could consider using Skyplan ... A Canadian HQ'd company, with 24/7 dispatch offices in Calgary & Sharjah. (Sales office in Dubai)
Skyplan has a proprietary web-based flight planning system called "CTO" (Cyber-Trac-One) which may be suitable for your needs.
