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
Naseej (earlier known as Arabian Advanced Systems[citation needed]) began 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 traditional paper-based card catalogs to electronic cataloging, using the Horizon Library Management System. The company 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]
