Small Business Awards 2023

Online Digital Services Agency of the Year 2023 - Libya Ebtekar Information Systems empowers its clients to start building the products that their customers want and is confident that people across the board will love the work that it carries out. Although the company’s heart and headquarters are situated in Tripoli, Libya, the influence the business has reaches across borders, and a strategic presence can be found in the company’s Dubai branch, thus cementing this claim. The ever-expanding team of professionals which the company proudly possesses continually serve clients with unwavering expertise and dedication, paving the way for Ebtekar’s present and future. Starting out with humble origins, it was 2012 when the company began to hit its stride, with the establishing of its VAS and mobile services department, which subsequently received a license from the Libyan Telecom Authority, before the business signed VAS agreements with two mobile operators, Libyana Mobile Phone and Almadar Aljadid. Since then, the business has progressed from strength-to-strength, providing stellar VAS and SMS services to subscribers from a host of different networks. Once it had successfully dominated Libya’s SMS market and was responsible for more than 15 million sent SMS’, Ebtekar set about developing its own direct carrier billing platform, providing these DCB integrations and subscription services into its content, apps, and to third party partners. This all officially commenced in 2018, and it was not long after that the company had already acquired a more than 65% market share on both of the mobile operators with which it closely works. The five years that followed brought similar successes, and another milestone was reached in March 2023, when Ebtekar signed an exclusive agreement with its mobile operating partners, Libyana Mobile Phone and Almadar Aljadid, with both networks naming the company as its master aggregator for DCB. 2023 has also yielded the unveiling of Ebtekar’s own aggregation platform, Connex, following a year of development. This platform brought with it many advanced features, and on launch was the only sole-owned Libyan platform of its kind. Following its release, revenue was increased, and more people from around the world were afforded the opportunity to connect to operators in the country in a streamlined manner. Like-minded success has also stemmed from the company’s partners as a result of their prosperous relationships, with Almadar Aljadid’s DCB revenues seeing a significant increase beginning in April 2023, at one point even exceeding 100%. Yet another example of the organisation breeding success is its digital transformations department, which has been working on developing platforms and digitising entities since 2022, implementing many of these projects earlier this year. July 2023 also saw the company be assigned a huge eVisa project on behalf of the Libyan Post and Telecommunications Holding Company. With the above representing just a few of Ebtekar’s triumphs over its 15year history, the company also delivers a host of other services comprising of tailored solutions that exceed the needs and expectations of clients. Whether one is looking to boost website performance, develop a cuttingedge smartphone application, or reinforce cybersecurity measures, Ebtekar Information Systems is there to assist in the maximising of benefits brought about through digital transformation, empowering its clients to thrive in the constantly shifting digital business landscape of today. The root of this success can be traced back to the company’s excellent approach to client service, which begins by sitting down with a new client and fully understanding their needs, before a vision is proposed, and perhaps best of all, a long-lasting friendship forged.
