Injazat Data Systems, a leading IT services provider, has signed an alliance with KBR, an engineering, construction and services company, to jointly pursue outsourcing opportunities in the region.

The signing ceremony was held at The International Defence Exhibition and Conference (Idex) in Abu Dhabi, Mena region’s largest defence exhibition and conference.

Injazat Data Systems and KBR will offer the regional market end-to-end solutions across various functions such as government infrastructure, secure government, project management, logistics, IT technology services, military outsourcing, and consultancy.

“Our alliance with KBR allows us to combine our extensive outsourcing experience and expertise with KBR’s global reputation and reach, so that we can more effectively meet the unique needs of the region’s diverse and demanding outsourcing clients,” said Ibrahim Mohamed Lari, chief, Injazat Data Systems.

Injazat Data Systems and KBR have a comprehensive understanding of government and military requirements, currently providing commercial best practices to global defence and government markets.

They are both prime contractors to the UK Ministry of Defence and the US Department of Defense on major national and international projects.

Injazat Data Systems is a joint venture between Mubadala and EDS, an HP company that founded the information technology outsourcing industry more than 46 years ago.

Injazat Data Systems currently holds over 50 per cent of the UAE’s IT managed services market. It will soon launch its 6,600-sqm Tier IV data centre, the first facility of its kind outside of North America.-TradeArabia News Service
