Managed IT and cyber security for regulated firms in Dubai & Abu Dhabi
Cre8 IT (Create IT) gives Dubai and UAE businesses practical IT advice from consultants who also deliver the work: IT strategy, audits, cloud and Microsoft 365, security and office projects, explained in plain language.
Many firms buy technology one problem at a time and end up with tools that overlap, licences they don’t use and gaps nobody owns. A short piece of consultancy can save far more than it costs.
We look at how your business works, what you already have and what regulators or clients expect, then give you a clear plan with priorities, costs and timelines.
Advice you can act on, from a team that can also carry out the work.
A plan for the next one to three years, aligned with how your business is growing and what it needs to spend.
A review of your systems, security and processes, with a prioritised list of what to fix first.
Advice on moving to the cloud, Microsoft 365 licensing, and migrating from Google Workspace or older servers.
Gap reviews against DFSA, FSRA and ISO 27001 expectations, and the controls and evidence to close them.
IT planning for new offices and relocations, from internet lines and the comms room to the move weekend.
A look at your IT contracts, licences and suppliers to remove overlap and cut costs you don’t need.
Our consultants are the same engineers who run IT for our clients every day, so our recommendations are practical and costed, not theory.
