Who we are

Founded in 2012, in Riyadh

X-Shift is a Saudi technology company and systems integrator.

X-Shift works with government entities and large companies across the Kingdom. Since 2012, more than 100 clients have been served and more than 150 projects delivered, supported by over 25 technology partners. The company is large enough to undertake enterprise programmes and small enough that the people who scope the work are the people who deliver it.

Why X-Shift

The combination is the differentiator

Most organisations we meet are choosing between three types of supplier: a consultancy that writes the strategy, a vendor that sells the platform and an integrator that connects it. Each hands the next a problem. X-Shift provides all three, so there is no handover and no dispute over accountability.

What a single accountable partner removes

  • Strategy that arrives with no route to implementation
  • Platforms selected before the problem was understood
  • Integration treated as another party's scope
  • Operational reality discovered after go-live
  • Three vendors and no single owner of the outcome

What we bring together

  • Business understanding of the Saudi public and enterprise context
  • Consulting capability in experience, process and architecture
  • Systems integration across our platforms, partner technology and your estate
  • Our own products, built and supported in the Kingdom
  • Managed operations, so we run what we build

Our approach

Business challenge first. Technology second. Outcomes throughout.

  1. 01Business challenge first
  2. 02Technology second
  3. 03Outcomes throughout

We start with what is not working and what it is costing you, not with what we have to sell. Technology is selected after the design, not before it, so that we remain neutral until the requirement is clear. Progress is then measured against the agreed goal, and measurement continues after the project closes. Most transformations quietly fail in the month after the programme team leaves.

Partners

A technology ecosystem, not a dependency

More than twenty-five technology partnerships support our delivery.

Partnerships provide access to proven technology and to the vendors who keep it supported. However, the partnership is not what we are selling. We discuss what you need and what it should achieve, and then select the technology. Where a partnership is relevant to your decision, we will say so.

  • Customer engagement platforms
  • Contact centre technology
  • Experience management
  • Process and workflow
  • Enterprise infrastructure
  • Networking and communications
  • Cloud platforms
  • Security technology

Begin with the constraint, not the catalogue.

X-Shift establishes whether the constraint lies in strategy, process, technology or operating model, and what is required to resolve it.
