Riyadh – Evernex Saudi Arabia (SA), a subsidiary of the global, independent IT Life Services company Evernex, announced that it is establishing a new office in Riyadh, reinforcing the company’s investment and commitment to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). With the launch, Evernex is establishing its first fully owned subsidiary in the Kingdom. The office will complement the company’s existing partner-driven operations in Jeddah and Khobar, which play key roles in the company’s supply chain business in the Kingdom.
The Evernex SA business is committed to investing in the growth and diversification of the nation and its people by aligning with the strategic framework of the Saudi Vision 2030 which encourages diversification and business competitiveness. Evernex SA will have an impact across the Kingdom’s economy by delivering on programmes that will impact local employment, women in the workforce, upskilling/training, government effectiveness and e-government initiatives.
“Now is the ideal time for us to expand our business in the Kingdom and deliver significant cost savings to companies and government departments who are looking to reduce IT expenditure and extend their IT lifecycles,” said Mohamed Bella, Managing Director Middle East, and Africa. “We look forward to supporting the 2030 Saudi Vision by creating employment opportunities, embracing Saudisation and gender equality in the workplace, and implementing some of our successful global programmes such as upskilling of local youth, specialised IT training and CSR.
Evernex experienced double-digit growth over the past three years in the Kingdom and has an aggressive ongoing growth strategy for the region. Evernex SA already has relationships with over 2,000 clients in KSA, working across all sectors including Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). In addition to the launch of the new office, Evernex SA plans to double its employee headcount in the region by 2022.
Evernex provides its customers in KSA with a single point of contact for the management and maintenance of IT services. The company’s in-house Competence Center hosts teams of skilled engineers specialized in the sourcing of spare parts, logistics and 24/7 support.
