What Solution Bi Middle East does

Solution Bi Middle East (SBI) is the Dubai-based regional arm of Solution BI (SBI Group), an international consulting firm specializing in Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Enterprise Performance Management (EPM). Founded in 2009 and headquartered in France, SBI Group employs 300+ experts across 11 offices spanning Europe, North America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, serving 150+ clients worldwide. The Dubai office (Business Central Towers, Tower B) acts as the regional headquarters delivering AI and data analytics solutions across the Middle East, supported by wholly-owned regional subsidiaries in Saudi Arabia and additional local presence.

The company's core offering is a "triple expertise" portfolio organized around three pillars: Data (Data Platform, Data Management, Data Analytics & Visualization, and Data Governance), AI & Agentic (generative and agentic AI, machine learning, deep learning, and an internal AI Factory framework), and EPM (planning & budgeting, reporting & analysis, predictive performance management, and consolidation & governance). Underlying technology stacks are built on preferred partnerships with Snowflake (AI Data Cloud, Cortex AI) and Microsoft (Azure, Microsoft Fabric, Power BI), with secondary integrations including AWS, dbt, Fivetran, and MicroStrategy. SBI also operates an in-house Finance Data Product that consolidates KPI harmonization and acts as an automated source of truth for finance teams.

Commercially, SBI generates revenue across five streams: consulting (DATA, AI, EPM strategy), implementation, 24/7 managed support, Qualiopi-certified training, and software resale of partner products. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract structures and hybrid support options (hour banks, maintenance, managed services). The go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused, with named clients including Danone, Air Canada, Geopost/DPD Group, Cambodia Airports, JAPFA, and ID Logistics. Distribution is driven by direct enterprise sales combined with technology partner channels (Snowflake, Microsoft) and 11 regional offices that enable follow-the-sun delivery.
