Bio
Hosam Alqurashi
Partnering with Albaraa was the best business decision I have ever made in my life. Not only is he one of the most knowledgable IT professionals in the region but is also a man of high integrity and ethics. Baraa and I started SMART in 2007 and Alhamdulillah today we are in a situation that exceeded our initial expectations. Baraa is now leading structural efforts to automize every single process in the company, which is moving quite well. He is also mentoring and training clients and employees in technology. SMART would not have been what it is today without a pillar of integrity, leadership and technical mastery like Baraa.

What can I say .. I'll start with thank you Baraa for make me regain my believe about outsource in Saudi .. It's true that it is not about the service it is about who is providing it. Baraa has done an out standing work building and managing Smart. For over a year now Bara and his team provided EDUCON with the right service to function better doing our business. I strongly recommend working with Smart. Harith
