This article delves into ZainTECH’s recent developments, partnerships, and the implications for businesses in the region.
A Strategic Partnership with Datanuum
One of the most notable advancements in ZainTECH’s service portfolio is its partnership with Datanuum, a customer data enrichment, engagement, and retention platform tailored for retailers and healthcare businesses. This collaboration is particularly timely, given the increasing emphasis on data privacy and regulatory compliance in the region. By integrating Datanuum’s capabilities, ZainTECH aims to provide businesses with robust solutions that not only secure customer data but also enhance customer relationships and optimize marketing expenditures.
ZainTECH’s CEO, Andrew Hanna, emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating, “ZainTECH’s mission is to deliver state-of-the-art digital solutions to our clients and exceed expectations while doing so. By combining Datanuum’s solutions with our services, we can offer businesses compliant value-added technologies that support differentiation and growth.” This partnership is expected to significantly benefit sectors that rely heavily on customer engagement, particularly retail and healthcare.
Accelerating Growth Since Launch
Although ZainTECH was launched in 2021, 2023 has marked a pivotal year for the company as it accelerates its service offerings across the Middle East. With a dedicated team of over 700 ICT professionals, ZainTECH has expanded its reach to more than 1,400 enterprise and government customers across eight MENA countries. The company’s diverse service portfolio includes cloud computing, cybersecurity, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, drones and robotics, modern infrastructure, and other emerging technologies.
The beginning of the year also saw ZainTECH making its debut in Bahrain, further solidifying its presence in the region. This expansion reflects the company’s commitment to meeting the growing demand for digital solutions across various industries, including telecommunications, government, oil and gas, retail, and financial services.
Strategic Acquisitions to Enhance Cloud Operations
In April 2023, ZainTECH took a significant step forward by acquiring Dubai-based AWS consulting partner Citrus Consulting. This acquisition is aimed at bolstering ZainTECH’s cloud operations within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, particularly in Saudi Arabia. The move aligns with the increasing demand for cloud services in the region, as businesses seek to leverage cloud technology for enhanced operational efficiency.
Additionally, ZainTECH partnered with HYAS Infosec, a company closely aligned with Microsoft and backed by prominent venture capital firms. This partnership is expected to enhance ZainTECH’s cybersecurity offerings, providing clients with advanced security solutions that are critical in today’s digital landscape. Furthermore, ZainTECH has also acquired BIOS Middle East and STS Arabia in Saudi Arabia, further expanding its capabilities and market reach.
Focus on Customer Happiness and Engagement
At the core of ZainTECH’s strategy is a commitment to customer happiness. The partnership with Datanuum is particularly focused on enhancing customer engagement and retention, which are vital for businesses aiming to thrive in a competitive market. The collaboration will offer several features, including data privacy compliance, customer engagement tools, and scalable cloud consumption models.
Datanuum’s CEO, Salam Saadeh, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “Partnering with ZainTECH represents a significant step forward in our mission to empower B2C businesses in the MENA region and beyond with the best data enrichment and engagement capabilities.” This collaboration is poised to drive innovation and growth for both companies and their clients.
