Top 10 Intergrators

Date: 11/19/2008

The region's integrators have one of the toughest jobs in IT — ensuring that technology provided by vendors can live up to their promises.ACN runs down ten of the best. HASOUB is placed at the TOP 8 best integrators in the region by ACN. This integrator first entered the rapidly developing Saudi Arabian market in 2003, with a vision to become the supplier of choice for quality computer hardware, network infrastructure components, engineering, technical services and customer care and support. Since then it has made a name for itself as an integrator of some note, working with renowned vendors like Cisco, Dell and Systimax.Unusually, Hasoub also performs some distribution duties in addition to its primary integrator business, although it's certainly not a core business for the well- established organisation. The company has maintained healthy relationships with a number of key vendors including Toshiba and Acer — having signed an agreement with the latter to become one of the vendor's executive partners within the Kingdom. Over the years, Hasoub has added an enviable list of projects to its name including the King Abdul Aziz Endowment Project, the Saudi Investment Bank, the Islamic Development Bank and King Abdul Aziz University. With a number of big vendors on board and a healthy variation between the number of services that it provides customers, Hasoub should continue to enjoy a decent slice of the estimated US$5 billion Saudi Arabian technology market.
