A closer look
Where is AI data stored for a UAE company?
It depends on the platform. A Microsoft 365 tenant created in the UAE stores its data, including Copilot interactions, in Microsoft's UAE data centres. For Microsoft's full commitment that data at rest stays in the UAE for the services Microsoft lists, the tenant needs the Advanced Data Residency (ADR) licence on 100% of its paid licences; ADR does not move a tenant created elsewhere. Zoho apps, including Zia, are available in Zoho's UAE data centre. Other assistants process data in their providers' regions. Your compliance team decides the requirements; we configure each platform to match. See Microsoft 365 Copilot in the UAE.

Frequently asked questions
Start with the one inside the suite your staff already use: Copilot for Microsoft 365, Gemini for Google Workspace, Zia for Zoho apps. Add Claude for teams that work with long contracts, tenders and analysis. The free overview readiness check tells you which teams should start and with which tool.
Yes. We sell Claude Team and Enterprise and Gemini Enterprise and invoice them in AED from Gulf Infotech FZCO in Dubai, with 5% VAT. Copilot is licensed with your Microsoft 365 plans, also invoiced in AED.
A Microsoft 365 tenant created in the UAE stores its data, including Copilot interactions, in Microsoft's UAE data centres. Microsoft's full commitment that data at rest stays in the UAE comes with the Advanced Data Residency licence on all paid licences. A tenant created elsewhere needs a paid migration to a new UAE tenant.
Copilot, Gemini and Claude accept Arabic prompts and answer in Arabic. We train staff in English or Arabic, with examples from their own emails and documents, so each team learns on its daily tasks.
Yes. We work with companies in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. Setup, licensing and support are delivered remotely, so the service is the same in every emirate.
