Abacus Group Strengthens Its Presence in the UAE

Abacus Group, a premier IT Managed Services Provider (MSP) and a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) focusing on highly regulated sectors, has made a significant step by opening a new office in Abu Dhabi. This expansion aligns with the company’s strategic growth plans and follows their recent establishment of an office in Dubai, marking a notable phase in their journey to enhance services throughout the Middle East.

The newly launched office is positioned within the prestigious Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), recognized as one of the world’s fastest-growing international financial centers (IFC). The vibrant ecosystem of ADGM provides a robust regulatory framework and is a hub for global asset managers and financial institutions, establishing it as a favorable environment for businesses to operate.

Tom Cole, the Managing Director for the EMEA region at Abacus Group, highlighted the importance of this expansion in Abu Dhabi as a natural progression for the company. He stated, "The city has established itself as a major international hub for asset managers and the wider financial services sector, offering unparalleled access to capital, a supportive regulatory environment and a rich talent pool. Abacus can add significant value here by providing the IT and cybersecurity capabilities firms need, strengthened by the local expertise and on-the-ground support they expect."

During a climate of rising demand for IT and cybersecurity services amidst the flourishing financial market of the UAE, this new office aims to support a diverse array of firms that are seeking localized, specialized IT solutions. Abacus Group’s offerings aim to ensure compliance while enhancing the cybersecurity resilience of enterprises in the region.

From its ADGM location, Abacus Group will deliver a complete suite of managed IT, multi-cloud, and cybersecurity services. This includes the acclaimed abacusFlex solution – designed specifically to meet the evolving demands of cybersecurity and regulatory compliance. With a strategic focus on offering proactive security measures, Abacus aims to fortify its clients against emerging threats in today’s digital landscape.

In addition, the opening of the Abu Dhabi office will position Abacus to cultivate and maintain closer collaboration with regional regulators, facilitating the sharing of crucial threat intelligence. This partnership is expected to drive a safer environment for regulated entities and businesses alike.

Abacus Group's decision to expand in the UAE reinforces its commitment to supporting firms within the financial services sector and reflects its aim of fostering a secure business environment. The UAE’s well-established regulatory framework is particularly advantageous for regulated entities, which continue to flock to this vibrant market.

The strategic positioning within the ADGM symbolizes Abacus Group’s aspiration to be a key player within the Middle East financial services landscape. As the region continues to attract both emerging and established managers, Abacus Group stands ready to empower firms with the technology and cybersecurity solutions required to thrive in today’s complex business environment.

With dual headquarters in New York and London, Abacus Group operates globally, catering to the unique needs of highly regulated sectors, ensuring robust IT services, efficient operations, and extended security for its clients.

The new Abu Dhabi office is poised to enhance Abacus Group's service offering significantly and demonstrates the organization's dedication to being at the forefront of providing innovative IT solutions in one of the world’s most rapidly growing markets.
