What iHorizons does

iHorizons is a Qatar-headquartered enterprise IT solutions and services provider founded in 1996, serving government agencies, telecommunications operators, media organizations, and large enterprises across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The company employs 250+ engineers and consultants distributed across 15+ countries and has delivered approximately 4 billion digital experiences to 100 million customers globally over its 30-year operating history. Its portfolio spans digital transformation consulting, custom software development, cloud infrastructure services (Azure, Google Cloud, AWS), managed platform operations, enterprise solutions (web content management, business process automation, e-commerce, digital asset management), AI and machine learning services, computer-aided facility management (via SWG partnership), and AI-powered penetration testing.

The company's flagship proprietary technology is Quasar, a hybrid enterprise AI platform supporting on-premise, hybrid, or private cloud deployment with a universal model connector for Google, Azure, OpenAI, and open-source models. Quasar features agentic AI for multi-step workflows, role-based access controls, and Arabic-first NLP pipelines for MSA and common dialects. Complementary AI products include FatwaTok (AI-assisted Islamic fatwa platform with semantic search), the Real-Time Friday Sermon Translation System (speech recognition plus NLP plus translation), and an AI-Powered Enterprise Knowledge Solution. The technology stack is anchored by partnerships with Microsoft (Gold Partner), Google Cloud, Adobe Commerce, Oracle, SAP, OpenText, Liferay, Sitecore, Drupal, and Sprinklr, with AI Labs located at the Qatar Science & Technology Park.

iHorizons generates revenue through professional services engagements (digital transformation consulting, custom software development), managed cloud and platform operations under SLAs, recurring AI/platform subscriptions (including Quasar licensing), e-commerce platform deployments, and CAFM software distribution. Pricing is quote-based with no public rates disclosed. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise field sales with senior account teams across MENA, complemented by technology partner co-selling channels. The company is privately held by its three co-founders — Mohamad Takriti (CEO), Yasser Hamad (President), and Jasim Al Mansoori (Chairman) — with no disclosed external institutional investment. Customer concentration skews toward long-tenured Qatar government ministries (Supreme Judiciary Council, Ministry of Endowments, General Tax Authority, Qatar News Agency) and regional telecom operators (Ooredoo across Qatar, Kuwait, Algeria, Iraq; Asiacell) and media groups (Al Jazeera, Al Araby, Fadaat Media), creating both anchor stability and concentration risk.
