Contact our expertsHow does QalbIT work with companies in Riyadh and Saudi Arabia?
We collaborate remotely with clear communication rhythms aligned to Riyadh time. Key ceremonies, demos and decision calls are scheduled during your working hours, supported by detailed written updates and access to staging environments for asynchronous review.
Do you understand the expectations and regulations of Saudi businesses?
We are familiar with working with GCC-based organisations that expect clarity, reliability and respect for local regulations. While your legal and compliance teams remain the final authority, we design architectures and processes that support data security, access control and auditability from day one.
What typical project sizes do you see for Riyadh-based clients?
Engagements often start with a focused MVP, module or modernisation slice and then expand as value is proven. Once we understand your requirements, we can propose phased options that match your budget and risk appetite.
Who owns the software and IP for work done for our Riyadh organisation?
Your organisation owns the source code, documentation and IP once invoices are paid, as specified in our agreement. We are comfortable signing NDAs and following your internal security and confidentiality guidelines.
How do we start a new engagement with QalbIT from Riyadh?
We usually begin with a discovery call to understand your product, constraints and timelines. From there, we propose a clear scope and a first phase—such as a discovery sprint or MVP build—so your Riyadh stakeholders can validate our fit before scaling up.
