  • Successful Trade Mission to Dubai for Amanah Tech Inc.

Marketing Director, Janea Bellay of Saskatoon-based Amanah Tech Inc. recently returned from Dubai, United Arab Emirates after signing a major contract with a multi-billion dollar group of companies, Al Ghurair Private Company, to provide web hosting services to more than 40 companies within the Al Ghurair Group. The agreement identifies the future use of Amanah Tech’s other web based services such as live satellite broadcasting, real time streaming, web design and database development by Al Ghurair.

The contract was signed at the Canadian Consulate in Dubai on May 11, 2002 in a ceremony attended by Canadian diplomats, Tim Marshall, Manager of International Development of Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership (STEP); Fouad Soueid, Senior Commercial Officer of Canadian Consulate; Christopher Thornley, Consul and Senior Trade Commissioner of Canadian Consulate; Hatem Al-Sibai, IT Director of Al Ghurair Private Company LLC; and Janea Bellay, Marketing Director of Amanah Tech Inc. 

Janea Bellay’s mission to Dubai was also an opportunity to assess the market and meet with other clients. “We were very successful on our mission and the market in Dubai is very receptive to our services. Amanah Tech Inc. is expecting a large increase in business from this trade mission,” said Bellay.

“The reason we are targeting the Arabian Gulf Region is our ability to provide high-quality services, advanced technology at low cost to our well established clients in the region,” said Nezar Freeny, President of Amanah Tech Inc. “Most companies in the region previously used US companies for their web hosting. Now, we offer the same services at a lower cost. Our competitive advantage is our multilingual and multicultural abilities. In a market where more companies are going global, our clients are looking for services in multiple languages. We offer that niche service to our clients,” said Freeny.

“Our Saskatchewan focus is on the small to medium enterprise market,” said Freeny. “Our understanding of the small business market in Saskatchewan allows us to provide our clients with high-quality services at reasonable costs.” Amanah Tech Inc. will maintain its headquarters in Saskatoon to efficiently serve both its geographical markets.
