Please tell us about Cloud Box Technologies growth story in the region

Since its inception in 2010, Cloud Box Technologies has grown from a systems integrator providing IT solutions from enterprise to SME-sized customers to becoming one of the premier IT infrastructure solutions providers in the Middle East. Our strategic partnerships with leading global IT brands enable us to provide cutting-edge technology solutions to help customers in their digital transformation journeys. Our tailored infrastructure solutions help optimise performance and improve operational efficiency. We specialise in creating robust and secure network architectures, enabling seamless connectivity and collaboration. Additionally, our cloud solutions allows organisations to harness the impacts of scalability and cost-efficiency.

We are further enhancing our service offerings to address the ever-growing cybersecurity requirements of the region by setting up our Security Operations Center (SOC) in Dubai. Our focus is to streamline operations, safeguard data integrity, offer adaptable solutions, eliminate vendor limitations, and optimise cost. These comprehensive measures allows businesses to confidently adopt cloud and achieve their digital transformation goals.

How did setting up the business in the UAE help your company’s journey?

The UAE has been at the forefront in fostering innovation, deploying emerging technologies, and offering new businesses a supportive environment for growth. It is a true hub for several success stories such as Cloud Box Technologies.

Over the years, the UAE government has simplified the business set up processes and brought in inclusive policies that have led to transparency, less complexity and ease to manage and run a business. Events like GITEX, GISEC, Expo 2020 are just some examples of how the country has created platforms to showcase our unique solutions and skillsets, providing numerous opportunities for businesses to expand and grow.
