CariNet

What CariNet does

CariNet (legal entity cariNET Ltd.) is a Jamaican IT consulting company incorporated in 1994, headquartered at 11 Glebe Crescent, Dunrobin Acres, Kingston 10, Jamaica. It provides professional services across networking infrastructure, Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) systems consulting, UNIX-based training and support, systems analysis and development, and project management. The company's technology foundation is rooted in legacy enterprise stacks, particularly UNIX System V for training and EFT systems for financial-sector consulting work.

CariNet operates a hybrid business model combining professional services revenue with third-party product resale. It is a BitDefender silver partner distributing anti-malware products to business, government, and educational clients, and an authorized reseller of Qbik's internet connectivity and security products (Wingate, Wingate VPN, PureSight, NetPatrol). Through a partnership with R and J Turnbull Limited, CariNet also delivers payment systems and business continuity solutions. Its UNIX training program offers three modular courses (Introductory UNIX, Advanced UNIX, and UNIX Administration) that can be customized to client environments.

The company's go-to-market is direct and contact-based: pricing, product demonstrations, and proposals are available only on inquiry, with no public pricing, no digital marketing presence beyond a basic website, and no disclosed customer logos. CariNet is privately held with 11-50 employees and serves a single-country Jamaican/Caribbean market. No funding rounds, M&A activity, public revenue disclosures, or product launches beyond the long-standing UNIX curriculum have been documented.
