CCI

What CCI does

CCI (Comprehensive Computing Innovations SAL) is an IT system integrator and value-added reseller headquartered in Beirut, Lebanon, operating across seven MENA countries (Lebanon, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Egypt, and Oman). The company delivers enterprise IT solutions spanning virtualization, cloud migration, cybersecurity, data center modernization, digital workspace transformation, and Oracle-engineered systems, primarily serving banking and financial institutions, with additional deployments in telecommunications, education, healthcare, and government. CCI was established as a spin-off from ICC Group, a Lebanese diversified conglomerate, and is led by Chairman-General Manager Mohamad Karaki.

CCI's core portfolio combines third-party enterprise technology resale with proprietary offerings. The proprietary FastGate Suite comprises seven subscription cloud bundles (FastConnect for Desktop-as-a-Service, FastSecure for endpoint/email security, FastRecover for Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service, FastRun for Azure-hosted VMs, FastBackup for cloud backup, F@st for productivity, and FastAdd for add-on services) starting at $6 per month. Beyond FastGate, CCI delivers a Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) practice spanning SDN, SDS, and SD-WAN, Azure VMware Solution (AVS) implementations, cloud migration services, modern digital workspace solutions, and a NextGen Solutions line covering AI/Deep Learning, Big Data, and IoT/Edge Computing. The technology stack is anchored by Principal/Gold partnerships with Microsoft (Gold, Azure Advanced Specialization), VMware (Principal, five Master Services Competencies including Cloud Foundation — 3rd in SEMEA), Oracle (ODA Best Performing Partner), HPE (Levant Top Partner), Fortinet (consecutive Growth Partner of the Year 2020-2021), and Veeam (Accredited Service Partner), among others.

CCI operates a multi-stream revenue model: professional services (consultancy, design, deployment, maintenance), hardware and software resale from partner vendors, 24x7 managed services with SLAs, and recurring FastGate subscriptions. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales targeting mid-to-large organizations, channel and co-marketing with vendor partners (joint roundtables with IDC MEA, webinars, and participation in events such as GITEX Global), and regional joint ventures — most notably CCI Kuwait, established with Mawarid General Trading and Contracting Company. The customer base includes Banque du Liban, Fransabank, BML, Byblos Bank, Bank Audi, Al-Mawarid Bank, Alfa, touch, AUB, Clemenceau Medical Center, and the Lebanese Army, with the company reporting 150+ successful projects and 12 awards across Microsoft, VMware, Oracle, HPE, Fortinet, and Veeam.
