What an IT AMC in Al Khobar covers

Most small and mid-sized companies in Al Khobar, Dammam, Dhahran and Jubail do not need a full IT department. They need someone who answers the phone, fixes problems quickly, and keeps the basics in order before they become outages. That is what our IT AMC does.

You pay one agreed annual fee. In return, Waves Telecom & Technology looks after your users, PCs, servers, network, firewall and Microsoft 365. We work remotely first and come on site when a problem needs hands on the equipment. Everything is logged, so you can see what was done and when.

  • Helpdesk by phone, email and WhatsApp for your staff
  • Planned on-site visits plus call-out visits for faults
  • Monitoring of servers, firewalls, internet links and backups
  • Monthly Windows and application patching
  • Firewall, Microsoft 365 and user account administration

Why small IT teams fall behind

Security skills are scarce in the Kingdom. In Cisco's 2025 Cybersecurity Readiness Index, 93% of Saudi organisations reported a skills shortage and 89% said unmanaged devices are a risk. For a 20 or 50-person company, that usually means patches are late, backups are never tested, and firewall rules nobody remembers writing.

An AMC fixes this with routine. Patching, backup checks and firewall reviews happen on a schedule, not only when something breaks. If you are an Aramco or SABIC supplier, the same routine produces the evidence you will need for your CCC renewal.

Site survey

An engineer visits, lists your devices, servers, network and licences, and notes urgent risks.

Proposal

We recommend a tier and the response targets, visit frequency and scope to write into the contract.

Onboarding

We install monitoring, document passwords and network layout, and set up the helpdesk contacts for your staff.

Clean-up

We close the urgent gaps first: missing patches, failed backups, weak firewall rules and old admin accounts.

Routine work runs on schedule, and you receive a regular report of tickets, patches and backup results.

Frequently asked questions

What is an IT AMC?

An IT AMC is an annual maintenance contract for your IT. You agree a scope, response targets and visit schedule for a year, and the provider looks after your systems under that agreement. It replaces paying per call-out.

How much does an IT AMC cost in Al Khobar?

It depends on the number of users, servers and sites, and the tier you choose. We quote after a short site survey so the price matches your real setup. Contact us for a proposal.

Are the response times guaranteed?

Response targets are agreed and written into your contract, so both sides know what to expect. The figures on this page are typical options; the final targets depend on your tier and location.

Do you cover Dammam, Dhahran and Jubail?

Yes. We are based in Al Khobar and our engineers regularly visit Dammam, Dhahran and Jubail. For Riyadh and other cities we support remotely and arrange visits as agreed.

Do hardware repairs and new equipment come under the AMC?

Labour for troubleshooting and fixing your existing systems is covered within scope. Replacement parts, new hardware and software licences are quoted separately. We can also manage Dell and HP warranty claims for you.

Can the AMC help with our Aramco CCC?

Yes. Routine patching, backup testing and firewall reviews produce records you can use as evidence. Waves is the readiness partner; the CCC itself is issued after review by an Aramco Authorized Audit Firm.

We already have one IT person. Is an AMC still useful?

Often, yes. A co-managed AMC gives your IT person a second line for servers, firewalls and Microsoft 365, and cover during leave or busy periods.
