Naseej is a limited liability company (LLC) headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia providing IT solutions[buzzword] for libraries, knowledge centers and higher education in the Arab world. The company was founded in 1989 by Abduljabbar Al-Abduljabbar (currently[when?] CEO) and Abdullah Al Turaifi (currently VP) as one of the first providers of professional information resources to Middle Eastern universities and information centers.[citation needed] As of 2014 Naseej employed more than 350 mostly IT professionals and operated in 9 countries throughout the region.
History
[edit]Naseej (earlier known as Arabian Advanced Systems[citation needed]) started by providing universities and information centers with access to professional information resources, primarily in electronic form, through so-called "CD-Towers". These servers hosted multiple CDs in 1989. The company helped libraries transform from paper-based card catalogs to electronic cataloging, using the Horizon Library Management System. They launched the brand “Naseej” in 1997 as the first of its kind to provide Internet access and web services in Saudi Arabia, and one of the first Arabic Internet portals.[1] In 1998, Naseej became the first licensed Internet service provider (ISP) in Saudi Arabia. The ISP division of Naseej would later be part of a three-way merger with AwalNet (Alfaisaliah Group Internet service provider) and @Net (Alalamiah Internet service provider) to form the largest Internet service providers in the GCC (later acquired by Saudi Telecom Company).[citation needed]
