Technology, Distribution & Services

Channel strategy, partnerships and operating models for technology firms, distributors and service businesses across MENA.

Why it matters

Technology, distribution and services companies in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf are growing on the back of government digitization, cloud adoption and Vision 2030 programs, while Saudization rules reshape how service and manpower businesses staff and price their work. Global vendors and hyperscale cloud providers are changing partner programs and margin structures, which forces regional resellers and integrators to decide which portfolios to build, where to specialize and how to earn recurring revenue rather than one-off project margin.

Our expertise

Our work here is commercial and organizational. We run gap analyses and build corporate and marketing strategies, organization designs and financial projections for service businesses. We review sales performance and hold quarterly commercial reviews that track pipeline, pricing and account coverage against plan. With cloud and IT providers, we review solution portfolios alongside the vendor partner, assessing which offers to build and how to take them to market, and we run operational optimization for IT solutions firms whose delivery processes have not kept pace with growth.
