Options Expands Microsoft CSP Direct Bill Services to Dubai, Bolstering Global Cloud Leadership
Options Technology (Options), a leading provider of cloud-enabled managed services for global capital markets, has announced the expansion of its Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) direct bill capabilities to Dubai. This strategic move positions Options as a key enabler of enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure in the region, supporting the growing number of Hedge Funds, Private Equity firms, and Asset Managers establishing operations in Dubai. The city’s emergence as a global financial hub, driven by innovation, regulatory clarity, and geographic diversification, has created strong demand for localized cloud solutions. With this launch, Options now delivers seamless access to Microsoft 365 and Azure services in Dubai, marking its fifth global region covered under Tier 1 CSP Direct Bill accreditation.
Meeting Rising Demand in Dubai’s Financial Sector
Dubai has become a magnet for financial institutions seeking to expand their presence in the Middle East. Many firms headquartered in London, New York, and other major financial centers are setting up regional offices in Dubai to tap into its dynamic market environment. Danny Moore, President and CEO of Options, emphasized the significance of this expansion: “Delivering Microsoft cloud services directly in Dubai is a major milestone for Options. This initiative responds to increasing demand from our clients—hedge funds, private equity firms, and asset managers—who are expanding their operations in the region.
