AI and Cloud are the twin pillars of Raqmiyat’s digital transformation strategy. Together, they provide the agility, scalability, and intelligence that modern enterprises need to thrive in a dynamic environment.
Cloud delivers elastic infrastructure—enabling operational resilience and rapid scalability. AI adds the intelligence layer—driving automation, predictive analytics, and smarter decision-making. This synergy empowers businesses to shift from reactive to proactive strategies.
Our goal is to help clients move beyond digital adaptation to digital leadership. Through strategic adoption of AI and Cloud, we ensure they are architecturally agile, operationally efficient, and future-ready.
By enabling seamless transformation, Raqmiyat positions enterprises to harness technology as a sustainable driver of growth and competitive advantage.
How is Raqmiyat addressing the tech talent shortage in the UAE by combining outsourcing services with AI-driven upskilling initiatives?
Raqmiyat is addressing the UAE’s tech talent challenge through a dual-pronged strategy: immediate capability through strategic outsourcing, and long-term workforce development via AI-powered upskilling.
Our outsourcing services provide rapid access to specialized expertise, bridging critical skill gaps for UAE enterprises.
Simultaneously, we invest in local talent development—using AI-driven platforms to personalize learning paths and accelerate certification in high-demand areas like data science and cloud engineering.
We see talent development as a shared responsibility—meeting today’s needs while building tomorrow’s tech leadership. Our approach strengthens both enterprise capability and the broader UAE tech ecosystem.
