Talent & Managed Solutions

What this practice does

Not every gap is best filled by a permanent hire. This practice puts senior engineering, architecture and specialist capability inside your programme — by the engagement rather than by the headcount plan — and takes operational responsibility where the need is ongoing rather than project-shaped.

Where engagements usually start

• A programme that needs a specific skill for six months, not forever
• A platform the team owns but which nobody in-house has deep experience of
• Architecture decisions waiting on a senior hire that has not landed
• A system live in production with nobody formally accountable for keeping it healthy

Resource augmentation

Engineers and specialists who join your teams, work to your standards and sit inside your environment — with the wider IOTA practices behind them when a problem needs more than one pair of hands.

Where we are most often asked for people:

• IBM product specialists — App Connect, DataPower Gateway, Sterling B2B Integration and ESB, drawn from the same bench that runs our IBM practice
• Low-code development — delivery on low-code and workflow automation platforms, including the governance around them so a low-code estate does not quietly become unmanaged
• Niche platform skills — the specialist capability that is hard to recruit for and rarely needed full-time, placed directly into the client environment

Skills empowerment in your environment

Augmentation that ends when the contract ends leaves you where you started. Our engineers work alongside your people rather than around them — pairing on delivery, documenting what they build, and handing over deliberately — so the capability stays with your team after the engagement closes.

Architecture as a Service

AaaS gives banks and financial institutions on-demand access to elite technology and solution architects: hand-picked industry veterans with hands-on experience of Saudi regulatory frameworks, enterprise-scale transformation and mission-critical platforms. It accelerates architecture decisions, secures regulatory alignment early, and reduces transformation risk — without the cost and commitment of permanent executive hires.

Regulatory and compliance depth

• SAMA frameworks — cybersecurity, cloud computing, open banking and payments, BCM, IT governance and risk
• NDMO — data classification, residency, sharing and governance
• PDPL (SDAIA) — privacy by design, data lifecycle, consent and breach management
• Alignment with ISO 27001, NCA, PCI-DSS and SWIFT CSP where applicable

Our architects embed compliance by design, not as an afterthought.

Managed services

Where the need is ongoing rather than project-shaped, we take operational responsibility: running, securing and improving systems against agreed service levels.

Regulatory alignment

People placed into regulated environments work under the client's own access, change and segregation-of-duty controls. Where an engagement touches personal data, PDPL obligations follow the work rather than stopping at the contract boundary.
