Commercial Bank partners with MEEZA for IT solutions

Doha, Qatar: Commercial Bank has recently announced the renewal of its exclusive partnership with MEEZA, a Qatar Foundation joint venture providing managed IT services and solutions, to provide secure, cloud-based technology solutions to the Bank’s enterprise and corporate customers.

 

Commercial Bank’s technology solutions suite, powered by MEEZA, help SMEs and other corporations enhance their competencies by leveraging technology and developing skills and know-how required to create a world-class economic infrastructure. Through the exclusive arrangement with MEEZA, any of Commercial Bank’s highly valued business customers can access a full portfolio of services and localised cloud applications available over the Internet, including creation and management of IT infrastructure, technology consulting, payroll, email, document management and web-hosting solutions.

 

Following a highly successful two-years run with excellent customer feedback, the partnership was renewed at Commercial Bank Plaza, by Mr. Abdulla Saleh Al Raisi, CEO of Commercial Bank and Mr. Rashid Al Naimi, Chairman of MEEZA.

 

“Commercial Bank’s partnership with MEEZA provides a unique, innovative suite of technology solutions that helps put our business customers at the forefront of cultivating a diversified and sustainable Qatari economy,” said Mr. Al Raisi, Commercial Bank’s CEO. “In Qatar, SMEs and entrepreneurship are widely recognised as key drivers of employment and economic growth. Our collaboration with MEEZA goes a long way to help these segments succeed,” he added.

 

“At Commercial Bank, we recognise that our business customers are working to expand their net worth and gain a competitive edge,” Mr. Al Raisi noted, “and we listen to their needs in order to help make that happen. The Commercial Bank/MEEZA suite is a first-of-its-kind offering in the region, and remains unique notwithstanding attempts at emulation. After two years of fast-paced development, it is not only the most innovative but also the most experienced in Qatar for the provision of secure, cloud-based business solutions.”

 

During the launch, Mr. Al Naimi, Chairman of MEEZA, said: “The continued market acceptance and adoption of our cloud service offering is a solid testament to the synergy between Commercial Bank and MEEZA sharing the same mission. “

 

Commenting on the partnership, Mrs. Ghada P. El Rassi, Chief Executive Officer said: “MEEZA stays committed to adhere to the highest industry standards to provide the most secure, scalable and agile solutions that are perfectly tuned to our market's demands. Our cloud services definitely take out the large capital expenditure requirement of establishing in-house IT capabilities and serves as a catalyst for success of small and medium enterprises in Qatar by allowing them to focus on their core business.”

 

 

Dean Proctor, Commercial Bank’s Executive General Manager, Retail and Consumer Banking, addressed the dignitaries at the renewal signing ceremony and said: “The Commercial Bank/MEEZA partnership represents a very strong market lead. The goal has always been to provide the best possible, agile, quality-driven model of software-as-a-service to meet varying customer needs in a changing market. Our efforts have been amply validated by the excellent customer feedback, and a range of new products is to be launched shortly to help businesses in Qatar and in the region to benefit further from these value-added technology solutions for SMEs and Corporates.”
