IT Support
Do you provide 24/7 IT support in Abu Dhabi and UAE?
Yes — VOWTECH provides 24/7 IT support across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and the wider UAE. Our support covers remote assistance, on-site emergency response, and helpdesk services for businesses of all sizes. Whether it's a server down at 2 AM or a network outage during business hours, our certified engineers are always available to respond quickly and resolve issues before they impact your operations.
What is an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) and what does it include?
An Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) from VOWTECH is a comprehensive IT support agreement that covers your entire IT infrastructure for a fixed annual fee. It typically includes: unlimited helpdesk support, scheduled preventive maintenance visits, priority response times for emergencies, hardware and software troubleshooting, network monitoring, and regular health-check reports. AMC removes the unpredictability of ad-hoc IT costs and ensures your IT environment is proactively maintained rather than reactively fixed.
What is your response time for on-site IT support in Abu Dhabi?
For AMC clients, our standard on-site response time in Abu Dhabi is 2–4 hours for critical issues and same-day for non-critical. For emergency IT support requests, we target a 1-hour response. Remote support is available immediately via phone, TeamViewer, or secure remote access tools. Response times for Dubai and other UAE emirates are agreed in each contract based on location.
Can you help with office IT setup and relocation in the UAE?
Absolutely. VOWTECH handles complete office IT setup and relocation across the UAE — from structured cabling and network design through server room installation, workstation setup, VoIP telephone systems, and internet connectivity commissioning. For relocations, we plan the move to minimise downtime, handle equipment decommissioning at the old site, and ensure all systems are fully operational at the new location before your team arrives.
Cybersecurity
What cybersecurity services does VOWTECH provide?
VOWTECH provides a full-spectrum cybersecurity portfolio including: Sophos firewall deployment and management, Security Operations Centre (SOC), SIEM and SOAR solutions, penetration testing, anti-phishing protection, web application firewalls (WAF), mobile device management (MDM), endpoint security, PAM/PIM solutions, anti-virus/anti-spam, and cloud network security. We protect businesses ranging from single-office SMEs to enterprise organisations across Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Do you offer Sophos firewall installation and management in UAE?
Yes — VOWTECH is a certified Sophos partner in the UAE. We design, supply, install, configure, and manage Sophos firewall solutions for businesses of all sizes. Our services include initial network security assessment, firewall policy design, deployment and commissioning, ongoing management, firmware updates, and 24/7 monitoring. Sophos XGS firewalls provide unified threat management, SSL inspection, and integrated endpoint-firewall communication through Sophos Synchronized Security.
What is penetration testing and does my UAE business need it?
Penetration testing (pen testing) is a controlled, authorised simulated cyberattack on your IT systems — designed to identify vulnerabilities before real attackers do. If your business handles sensitive customer data, processes payments, operates in a regulated sector, or holds government contracts in the UAE, penetration testing is increasingly required for compliance. VOWTECH conducts external network pen tests, internal network assessments, web application security testing, and social engineering assessments — providing a detailed report of findings and prioritised remediation guidance.
Cloud & Backup
What cloud solutions does VOWTECH offer for UAE businesses?
VOWTECH provides a comprehensive range of cloud solutions including Microsoft Office 365 and Exchange Online, Google Apps for Business, private cloud infrastructure, dedicated and VPS servers, Veeam backup and disaster recovery, cloud backup, virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V), VPN and network monitoring, and server management. We help businesses migrate to cloud platforms, configure and optimise cloud environments, and ensure data security and compliance with UAE data residency requirements.
How does Veeam backup work and what does VOWTECH offer?
Veeam is an enterprise backup and disaster recovery platform that protects virtual machines, physical servers, and cloud workloads. VOWTECH designs, deploys, and manages Veeam backup solutions — including backup job configuration, offsite replication, regular recovery testing, and monitoring. In the event of a server failure, ransomware attack, or data loss incident, Veeam enables rapid recovery to minimise business downtime. We also configure immutable backup copies that ransomware cannot encrypt.
Can you migrate our business to Office 365 in the UAE?
Yes — VOWTECH handles complete Office 365 migrations for UAE businesses, including domain configuration, email migration from on-premise Exchange or other providers, Teams and SharePoint setup, licence management, and user training. Migrations are planned to ensure zero data loss and minimal disruption — with options for staged migration, cutover migration, or hybrid deployments depending on your organisation's size and requirements.
Networking
Do you provide structured cabling services in Abu Dhabi?
Yes — VOWTECH designs and installs structured cabling systems for offices, warehouses, and commercial buildings across Abu Dhabi and the UAE. Our cabling services include Cat6/Cat6A/Cat7 data cabling, fibre optic backbone installation, patch panel and cabinet installation, cable testing and certification, and documentation. All installations comply with TIA/EIA-568 standards and UAE building regulations — providing a clean, organised, high-performance network foundation for your business.
Can you set up a server room for our new office in UAE?
VOWTECH provides complete server room design and installation — from rack and cabinet supply through structured cabling, power distribution, cooling systems, environmental monitoring, physical security (access control and CCTV), and UPS power protection. We handle all aspects of the project from initial space planning and cooling load calculation through to commissioning and handover with as-built documentation. Our server room setups comply with UAE electrical standards and best practices for data centre infrastructure.
Biometrics & Access Control
What face recognition attendance systems do you install in UAE?
VOWTECH deploys AI-powered face recognition attendance systems from ZKTeco, Suprema, and Hikvision across the UAE. These systems provide contactless biometric attendance recording, liveness detection to prevent spoofing, mask-wearing compatibility, and cloud-based management. We integrate attendance data directly with HR and payroll systems (SAP, Oracle, MS Dynamics) to eliminate manual processing. Systems achieve 99.5% recognition accuracy with sub-0.5-second identification speed.
Can face recognition prevent buddy punching in my business?
Yes — buddy punching (one employee clocking in for an absent colleague) is completely eliminated by face recognition attendance systems. Because the system verifies the physical biometric identity of the individual at the terminal, it is impossible to clock in on behalf of someone else regardless of any collusion between employees. For organisations with more than 20 staff, the cost savings from eliminated buddy punching alone typically recover the full system cost within 12 months of deployment.
Do you install ZKTeco access control systems in Abu Dhabi?
Yes — VOWTECH is an authorised ZKTeco partner in Abu Dhabi and the UAE. We supply, install, configure, and support the full ZKTeco product range including face recognition terminals, fingerprint readers, card access control, turnstiles, barrier gates, and the ZKTeco BioTime attendance management platform. We handle everything from site survey and hardware specification through cabling, installation, enrolment, HR integration, and ongoing support.
AMC & Switching Provider
Our current AMC provider is not responding. Can VOWTECH take over?
Yes. VOWTECH takes over existing IT AMC and CCTV AMC contracts when the current provider is not responding. We start with a free review of what your contract covers and what is actually being delivered, document your network, devices and access details, and agree a clean handover so your team is not disrupted. You do not have to wait for the renewal date. See how switching works or WhatsApp us on +971 58 181 6887.
What does an IT Annual Maintenance Contract include?
An IT AMC normally covers preventive maintenance visits, remote helpdesk support, on-site fault visits, and the upkeep of PCs, servers, network equipment, backups and security software. Replacement parts and new projects are usually quoted separately. Every VOWTECH contract is scoped to your site rather than sold as a fixed package. Read more on our IT AMC in Abu Dhabi page.
Do you have fixed AMC packages or price plans?
No. We do not squeeze customers into fixed tiers. The scope depends on your number of users, devices, servers, cameras and locations, and on the support hours you need. We carry out a free assessment and give you a clear written proposal built around your environment.
Is an AMC better than calling someone only when something breaks?
It depends on how much downtime costs you. Ad-hoc support can suit very small offices with simple setups. A contract suits businesses that rely on their systems every day, because problems are found during preventive visits instead of during an outage. Our guide IT AMC vs ad-hoc IT support compares the two honestly.
CCTV & CCTV AMC
What is CCTV AMC?
CCTV AMC is an annual maintenance contract for your surveillance system. Instead of waiting for a camera or recorder to fail, the system is inspected on a planned schedule and faults are fixed early, so recordings are there when you need them. Details are on our CCTV AMC in Abu Dhabi page.
What does CCTV annual maintenance include?
Typical coverage includes preventive maintenance visits, camera inspection and cleaning, DVR/NVR maintenance, hard disk and storage checks, recording verification, remote viewing checks, network connectivity checks, fault diagnosis and replacement recommendations where required.
How often should CCTV systems be maintained?
It depends on the environment and how critical the footage is. Quarterly visits are a common choice for offices and shops, while dusty, outdoor or high-security sites often choose more frequent visits. The schedule is agreed per contract.
Can you maintain or repair a CCTV system installed by another company?
Yes. We first assess the condition of the cameras, recorder, cabling and network, tell you what needs attention, and then either carry out a one-off repair or take the system under a maintenance contract. See CCTV maintenance and repair.
Attendance & Punch-In Systems
What is a punch-in / punch-out machine?
It is the device at the entrance that records when each employee arrives and leaves — using a fingerprint, face or card. The punches go to attendance software that applies your shifts, late rules and overtime and produces timesheets. See punch-in and punch-out machines.
What is a biometric attendance system?
A biometric attendance system verifies a physical characteristic — usually a fingerprint or face — instead of a signature, PIN or card alone. Because it cannot be shared, the record shows that the actual employee was present. We handle attendance system installation end to end.
Can attendance machines be connected through a network?
Yes. Modern attendance devices connect over LAN or Wi-Fi and send their records to attendance software on a server, PC or cloud service. We give each device a fixed IP address and make sure your network allows the traffic.
Can attendance systems be installed in multiple locations?
Yes. Devices in different offices, branches or sites can report into one centralised attendance system, provided each location has a reliable connection. Employees can be enrolled once and recognised wherever they are authorised. See attendance systems across the UAE.
