Sharjah Municipality

Modernisation of an ageing network and security infrastructure that critical city services depended on.

Network Infrastructure
Next Generation Firewalls
Web Application Firewall
Secure Socket Layer Virtual Private Network
Mail security and server protection
Disaster recovery and compliance services
Professional services with a long-term maintenance contract

The Challenge

The existing network struggled with reliability, security and scalability, and there was no unified approach to disaster recovery or ongoing maintenance. The project involved many stakeholders—government teams, external vendors and auditors—working within a slow, bureaucratic approval process that could easily delay delivery.

The Solution

We designed a modern network and security architecture covering core networking, SSL VPN, email and server protection, application delivery, load balancing, disaster recovery and compliance services. Our team coordinated cross‑functional planning, contracts, kick‑off sessions and integration meetings, and worked with the municipality's CTO to secure a dedicated internal project manager to keep decisions and schedules on track.

The Results

Sharjah Municipality moved from outdated infrastructure to a secure, audited and highly available environment built on leading technologies. The upgraded platform met ISO‑aligned compliance requirements, reduced operational risk, and gave the municipality a strong foundation for future digital services.

Our Role

We served as the technical and project partner, aligning requirements, managing delivery and ensuring all stakeholders worked toward a single integrated solution.
