Startups & automation

What tech does a startup company need?

A solid starting setup:

  • Domain, website & professional email (Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace)
  • Identity & security: single sign-on, MFA for everyone, a password manager
  • Collaboration: Teams or Slack, shared drives (OneDrive/SharePoint or Google Drive)
  • Sales: a CRM (HubSpot, Zoho CRM)
  • Finance: accounting & invoicing (Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Xero) — VAT-ready in the UAE
  • People: HR, attendance and payroll (in the UAE, payroll through WPS)
  • Work: project management (Planner, Asana, Trello, Jira)
  • Devices: laptop management and endpoint protection (Intune)
  • Backups & automation connecting it all
