Gawab.com announces strategic alliance with NTG

This collaboration is an ideal opportunity to bring the most advanced email solution within the Middle East to its targeted customers in the Kingdom through the wide network of NTG companies and customers.

"Being one of the top 10 ranked Arabic websites, and the 7th visited website by Saudi users, suggests an increasing demand for our services in the Kingdom which made this move a mandatory step towards our regional expansions," said AbdelRahman Mehilba, CEO of Gawab.com.

NTG is a multi-national conglomerate group of IT companies having direct and joint venture operations in the Middle East, India, Sri Lanka and the US. With head office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the group is expanding rapidly into new geographies, setting up joint ventures, incubating new ideas and launching new IT business initiatives. One of the group's shining stars is Arabic Computer Systems (ACS), an IT company well known to the Saudi Corporate Sector for its comprehensive IT solutions and services over the last 18 years. Another leading member of the NTG group is Jeel, which is ranked among the top five internet service providers in the Kingdom.

Dr. Abdulkhader Alfantookh, the senior consultant with the NTG group, is upbeat about their new alliance with Gawab.com and feels this strategic tie-up will allow both companies to leverage their respective strengths in garnering a major share of the Saudi marketplace for corporate e-mail solutions.
