MIS ( AL MOAMMAD INFORMATION SYSTEMS )
MIS strives to attract , develop and , more importantly , retain the highest level of human capital in order to be a market leader .
“ As a company , our human capital is part of our entire development ethos ,” says Mortaja . “ Every time we identify a new skillset that ’ s required , or a new technology element we focus our investment plan around how we can train our people and develop them to be the very best they can be for the company and for the client .” Due to the changing nature of the market , having a skills gap can be inescapable at times and MIS works closely with what Mortaja describes as “ extended partnerships ” that provide it with resources that enable the company to learn and provide specialised services .
“ We assess our core competencies with our own staff and through
our extended reach to a wellestablished network of partners ,” he says . “ It becomes a combination of both homegrown and extended reach in order to continue to deliver to client expectations .”
MIS has a vision to become the trusted IT partner for some of the largest projects in Saudi Arabia , but to get there , Mortaja understands that sometimes it ’ s not about the destination , rather the transformational journey that represents the one key success for the company .
“ For me , success is a journey not a destination ,” says Mortaja . “ My role is to build on more than 30 years of success . We want to be the best for our customers , the best for the company , for our employees and for our shareholders , and with that , it ’ s a journey that must not end .”
