What Netways does

Netways is a Saudi Arabia-headquartered IT consultancy and Microsoft-focused digital transformation partner founded in 1999. The company delivers intelligent digital transformation services — including advisory, project implementation, and 24/7 managed services — to government entities and large enterprises across the MENA region and North America, operating from 12 international offices in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh HQ, Jeddah, Dammam), Lebanon (regional MENA HQ in Beirut, plus Bar Elias and Akkar), Jordan, Egypt, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Oman, and Canada (Calgary). Its customer base spans more than 2,500 organizations concentrated in government, financial services, manufacturing, education, and retail/consumer verticals, with named enterprise customers including Sanabil Investments, Qatar Charity, Saudia Academy, Qatar's Ministry of Commerce & Industry, EMDAD, Colleges of Excellence, and Dubai SME.

The company's technical core is the Intelligent Cloud Platform, a Microsoft-stack architecture bundling five platform modules (Data Intelligence, Business Apps, Productivity, Application Innovation, and Security & Management) with three "Intelligence of Everything" capabilities (Customer Engagement, Thing Interaction/IoT, and Employee Empowerment). Netways builds proprietary IP on top of this stack — including PACE (Process Automation and Configuration Engine), the Flowon Automation Platform, the Docflow System, the Intelligent Learning Management Platform, and the IaC Mastery infrastructure-as-code practice — and packages its Copilot adoption expertise into the INNOV8 for Copilot Studio workshop. As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for over 20 years and a five-time Microsoft Business Applications Inner Circle member (top 1% of BizApps partners globally), Netways holds all six Microsoft Solutions Partner Designations and multiple Azure Advanced Specializations, with deep integration across Azure, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Fabric, Azure OpenAI, and SharePoint.

Commercially, Netways operates an enterprise field-sales motion targeting ministries, regulators, and large corporates, supplemented by event-driven lead generation at LEAP, GITEX, COMEX, and the Microsoft AI Tour. Consulting offerings such as INNOV8 for Copilot Studio and IaC Mastery are also distributed through Microsoft AppSource and Azure Marketplace, extending reach beyond the MENA core. Revenue is generated primarily through multi-year, quote-based professional services engagements and recurring managed services contracts (including Cloud Solution Provider arrangements for Office 365 and Azure), with approximately 1,000 Microsoft-certified professionals delivering the work. Strategic partnerships with Liferay (expanded at LEAP 2025), IBM, Red Hat, Informatica, Nintex, Dynatrace, Teradata, Yellowfin, Nutcache, and Cluedin round out a delivery stack beyond pure Microsoft technology.
