Clients: SITE, CAB, TETCO (Technical Arm of the Ministry of Education)
Sector: Government / Education Technology
Service: Strategic IT Resource Augmentation
Business Challenge
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Education is driving large-scale digital transformation initiatives across schools, universities, and national education platforms. SITE and TETCO, as the Ministry’s technology execution arms, needed rapid access to highly specialized IT talent to support mission-critical programs spanning cybersecurity, ERP modernization, cloud operations, and project management.
The challenge lay in mobilizing qualified professionals quickly while maintaining compliance with government protocols. Traditional hiring processes were too slow, inflexible, and costly for the dynamic requirements of national-scale programs with stringent delivery timelines.
