Where we have come from: The Optimiza Story
Optimiza’s history goes back to 1980 when the
Computer & Engineering Bureau (CEB) was established.
In 2006, Optimiza acquired CEB as well as
other local and regional companies encompassing an exciting product
portfolio, intellectual capital and expertise in servicing clients.
The new completely merged organization was launched in
Jordan in January 2007, and was officially launched to the
region at GITEX Technology Week in the same year in
Dubai. Furthermore, at the end of 2007, Optimiza acquired
MenaITech, a leading company specialized in human resources development systems,
and in mid 2008, Optimiza acquired 70% of Royah,
a Saudi Company, specialized in the development of systems integration and
implementation of Oracle solutions.
Optimiza today is the result of an aggressive mergers and acquisitions strategy
for a number of companies specialized in the areas of management consulting, IT
solutions and services, training and outsourcing.
