Citrus Consulting, Redington’s consulting and transformation services arm, is a regional Amazon Web Services (AWS) advanced consulting partner. Through this acquisition it underscores ZainTECH’s aim of supporting customers in the region maximise their return on investment from cloud technologies and accelerating time-to-value using AWS.
“By welcoming Citrus Consulting into the ZainTECH ecosystem, we are enriching our ability to deliver comprehensive cloud-based digital solutions that ensure quick and tangible benefits for our clients,” said Andrew Hanna, CEO of ZainTECH.

With a strong operational footprint across the Gulf Cooperation Council, Citrus Consulting contributes nearly 30 AWS-certified engineers and a portfolio of clients to ZainTECH’s cloud operations.
This will enable ZainTECH’s the ability to offer regional organisations, and in Saudi Arabia in particular, the ability to leverage AWS cloud solutions.
It will also enable strict adherence to each country’s regulatory and data residency requirements.
“Together with ZainTECH’s capabilities, Citrus Consulting will be stronger in delivering innovative services that cater to the evolving needs of regional customers and better amplify their cloud transformation journeys,” added Viswanath Pallasena, chief executive officer, Redington MEA.
