Next IT Systems and SmartAIConnect have formed a partnership to introduce a responsible artificial intelligence framework across the Middle East. The collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of secure AI systems and modernised security infrastructure for organisations in the region.
Next IT Systems LLC has confirmed a ‘Gold Partnership’ with SmartAIConnect Pty Ltd to roll out the ‘Pass’ platform. Pass, which stands for Project Assurance Software Solution, is designed for managing AI systems, surveillance networks, and Internet of Things (IoT) deployments. The agreement combines Next IT’s regional presence with SmartAIConnect’s established technology to support both public and private sector clients.
A Framework for Secure AI
The Pass software platform enables the management of secure, scalable, and regulatory-compliant AI systems, computer vision, and IoT environments. Through the new agreement, the platform is now available via the Next IT Systems reseller network at competitive enterprise rates.
The Gold Tier partnership ensures that clients will receive premium training, hands-on implementation support, and accelerated onboarding for high-volume projects. This level of service is intended to help organisations meet their compliance and security objectives efficiently, reflecting a wider regional focus on digital innovation and global partnerships.
Supporting Regional Goals
Leaders from both companies highlighted the strategic value of the collaboration. Shaik Hamdan, Director of Next IT Systems LLC, stated that the partnership allows his company to offer UAE organisations compliant and scalable AI infrastructure that aligns with the region’s security and digital transformation goals.
Christopher Lane, CEO of SmartAIConnect, added that the agreement helps his firm deliver on its commitment to responsible technology. “Through this partnership, SmartAIConnect delivers AI excellence and responsible technology deployment, building on our commitment to customer-centric innovation and trusted AI solutions,” he said.
This venture positions both companies to address the growing demand for secure technology solutions as the Gulf continues to establish itself as an international innovation hub.
