What IT consulting means
Technology decisions are business decisions. We help you make the right ones.
Most UAE businesses accumulate IT systems reactively. A server here, a SaaS tool there, a firewall that predates the current team. The result is overspend, security gaps, and infrastructure that slows the business down rather than enabling it.
NetSys IT Infrastructure provides independent IT consulting with no vendor bias. We assess your current state, map it against your business objectives, and produce a prioritised roadmap with clear AED cost implications for every recommendation.
With engineers and consultants across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, we combine strategic advice with the practical ability to execute every recommendation ourselves, or hand off to your existing team with full documentation.

Common questions
Questions about IT consulting in the UAE
Whether you are in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or another emirate, these questions come up in most first conversations.
What does an IT consulting engagement typically cost in the UAE?
All our consulting engagements are priced as fixed AED projects agreed upfront. An initial IT audit and roadmap for a 20 to 50 person business typically ranges from AED 8,000 to AED 25,000 depending on scope and number of sites. We provide a fixed quote after the free discovery call, so you know the cost before committing.
Do you provide IT consulting across all UAE emirates including Dubai and Sharjah?
Yes. We have consultants based in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, and we regularly conduct on-site assessments in Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain. All travel within the UAE is included in the project fee. Cross-emirate and multi-site engagements are a standard part of our work.
How is IT consulting different from managed IT support?
Managed IT support is ongoing operational management of your IT environment. Consulting is advisory work focused on strategic decisions. Most businesses benefit from both. We often deliver a consulting engagement first to establish a clear picture, then transition to managed support once the roadmap is approved and priorities are clear.
What is a vCIO and does my business in UAE need one?
A vCIO (virtual Chief Information Officer) is a senior IT leader engaged on a part-time monthly retainer instead of a full-time hire. For UAE SMEs and growing businesses that need strategic IT leadership but cannot justify a full-time CIO salary, a vCIO typically costs 15 to 25% of the equivalent full-time hire while providing the same strategic value. We offer vCIO services starting from a fixed monthly AED fee.
Can you help us align our IT with UAE cybersecurity regulations?
Yes. Our security consulting practice specifically addresses UAE National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC), CBUAE IT governance standards, and ISO 27001. We produce a gap assessment against the relevant framework, a prioritised remediation plan, and documentation you can use for internal audit or regulatory review.
How long does an IT audit and roadmap take to complete?
For a single-site business with 10 to 50 users, the on-site assessment takes half a day to a full day. The written audit report is delivered within 48 hours. The full roadmap presentation is scheduled within one week of the audit. For multi-site or enterprise engagements, timelines are scoped at the outset based on number of locations and systems.
Do you help with cloud migration strategy, not just implementation?
Yes. Many businesses need to understand whether to move to cloud, which workloads to move, and in what sequence before committing to implementation. Our cloud strategy consulting covers workload assessment, Azure versus AWS comparison for UAE data residency, cost modelling in AED, and a phased migration plan. We then implement it ourselves or support your chosen implementation partner.
Can consulting recommendations be implemented by our internal IT team?
Absolutely. All roadmap documents and technical specifications are written to be actionable by an internal IT team or third-party vendor. We do not write vague slide decks. If your team has the capacity to execute, we can act as quality assurance and technical oversight during delivery. We can also implement specific items ourselves and leave others to your team.
