Cloud Concept in Dubai is looking to recruit more staff as it plans to open an office in Saudi Arabia.

The company offers cloud computing solutions by salesforce.com, Google Apps, and Amazon Web Services and says it has the largest team of salesforce.com certified consultants, administrators, and developers in the Gulf.

It also promotes its own cloud computing products: facilitycloud: a solution to help facilities management companies cut their costs and improve their services by managing maintenance requests, work orders, inventories, and online customer services and TaskIt!: a Salesforce CRM app that assigns and tracks tasks to persons that are not users, such as vendors, partners, or colleagues in the same company.
