What GTFS does

GTFS is a Dubai-based business solutions provider founded in 1997 as a wholly-owned technology subsidiary of the Bin Zayed Group, a UAE conglomerate chaired by Sheikh Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nehayan. The company operates from three offices — Dubai (headquarters), Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh — and serves enterprise and government clients across the Gulf Cooperation Council with a workforce of 251–500 employees, including 140+ certified technology engineers and a stated 1,000+ man-years of combined experience.

The company's product portfolio centers on the implementation and resale of third-party enterprise software platforms rather than proprietary technology. Core offerings include Microsoft Dynamics AX and NAV for ERP, Microsoft Dynamics CRM for customer relationship management, OpenText and Kofax for enterprise content management, Bizflow/Handysoft for business process management, LS Retail for retail/hospitality, Jet Reports for Excel-based reporting, and the proprietary RxCare healthcare practice management solution. The technology stack is augmented by .NET-based application development, data warehousing and BI services, and a hardware-oriented IT infrastructure practice covering structured cabling, IP telephony, network storage, and security surveillance.

GTFS monetizes primarily through professional services — consulting, customization, integration, and ongoing support — alongside IT resource outsourcing (contract consultants placed at client sites) and managed information security services. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales via the three regional offices, supported by Gold-level reseller relationships with Microsoft, IBM, Kofax, OpenText, and LS Retail. The customer base is heavily weighted to banking and financial institutions (Riyad Bank, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, HSBC, Mashreq, NBQ, Sharjah Islamic Bank, First Gulf Bank, Emirates Bank International, National Bank of Dubai, Bank Dhofar), with additional exposure to telecom (Etisalat, Du), government (RTA), oil & gas (ENOC), retail (Marks & Spencer), and luxury manufacturing (Rolls-Royce). Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed standard pricing.
