Turn project history into sales evidence.
Twenty-plus years of UAE IT delivery. Here is what that looks like in practice — the challenges clients brought to us, how we solved them, and what changed as a result.

Microsoft 365 + Security Migration
A mid-size Abu Dhabi professional services firm was running on-premise Exchange 2013 with no MFA, no endpoint protection, and staff using personal devices. A phishing attack had already compromised one executive mailbox.
- Full Microsoft 365 Business Premium tenant deployment
- Mailbox migration with zero downtime cutover
- Conditional Access + MFA rollout across 85 users
- Intune MDM enrollment for all company and BYOD devices
- Defender for Office 365 — anti-phishing, safe links, safe attachments
Zero successful phishing incidents in 18 months post-deployment. IT admin time reduced by 40% through automation.
windream DMS + File Management System
A UAE construction group managing 14 active projects had document version conflicts, contract disputes from lost revision history, and approvals done via WhatsApp with no audit trail.
- windream DMS implementation with project-based folder taxonomy
- Automated version control and check-in / check-out workflows
- Role-based access across project managers, site engineers, and legal
- Integration with existing ERP for purchase order document linkage
- Staff training and 90-day hypercare support
Contract dispute resolution time cut from 3 weeks to 2 days. Full audit trail established for regulatory review.
End-to-End Infrastructure Revamp
A manufacturing company in Abu Dhabi Industrial City was running servers from 2011 on a flat network with no segmentation. A single ransomware event would have taken the entire operation offline with no recovery path.
- Full server refresh — HPE ProLiant with VMware vSphere
- Network redesign — VLANs, Fortinet NGFW, managed switching
- Veeam Backup & Replication with offsite cloud repository
- DR runbook and quarterly failover testing
- 3-year managed support contract
RTO reduced from “unknown” to under 4 hours. Infrastructure now supports 5-year growth without hardware refresh.
Custom Application Development
A UAE government-linked entity needed a secure internal portal for inter-department workflow approvals — off-the-shelf SaaS tools could not meet data residency requirements or integrate with legacy systems.
- Requirements workshop and process mapping across 6 departments
- Custom .NET application hosted on UAE on-premise infrastructure
- Active Directory SSO integration
- Role-based workflow engine with escalation logic
- Ongoing support and quarterly feature release cycle
Manual approval time dropped from 5 days to same-day. Full data residency compliance maintained.
Cybersecurity Posture Uplift
A financial services firm in Dubai was preparing for a regulatory audit. Internal IT had no documented security policies, no vulnerability scanning programme, and no incident response plan.
- ISO 27001 gap assessment and remediation roadmap
- Vulnerability scanning and penetration test (external + internal)
- Security policy library creation — 22 policies documented
- SIEM deployment (Microsoft Sentinel) with custom alerting rules
- Incident response plan and tabletop exercise facilitation
Passed regulatory audit with zero critical findings. Achieved ISO 27001 certification within 9 months.
Backup & Disaster Recovery Programme
A multi-site retail group had backups running to NAS devices at each branch — never tested, never monitored. When ransomware hit their head-office file server, backups were found to be 11 days stale and partially corrupt.
- Veeam Backup & Replication centralised across all sites
- 3-2-1 backup architecture: local, replication, cloud repository
- Automated daily backup verification with alert-on-failure
- Monthly restore testing with signed completion reports
- Staff awareness training — ransomware recognition
Post-programme ransomware event recovered in 3.5 hours with zero data loss. Previous exposure: full business shutdown.
