Saudi Arabia

What organizations in Saudi Arabia are building

Saudi organizations are growing faster than their support functions. New entities, new mandates and new service lines arrive before there is an HR function to hire for them, a finance team to report on them or a procurement process to buy for them.

That is a different problem from cost reduction, and it needs a different answer. Most of our Saudi work has been building something that did not exist yet: a service line, an operating model, a governance structure, a function.

It is also why the consulting and the outsourcing sit in the same company. A design nobody can staff is a document, and a team running an undesigned process is expensive.

Delivery runs from centres onshore and offshore, so the work can sit close to the business where it needs to and cost less where it does not.

Built, not just advised

Our Saudi engagements have been about standing things up: a new outsourcing service line, its pricing, its operating model and its route to market. We lead execution end to end rather than handing over a recommendation.

Senior attention, boutique size

A boutique gets you partners on the work rather than partners at the kick-off. That is the trade we make against the global firms, deliberately.

What we run

The functions Saudi clients ask for first

Delivered as consulting, manpower augmentation or full outsourcing, and usually as more than one of the three.

Industries

Sectors we work in here

Semi-government & Public Sector

Mandated entities standing up support functions at speed, under governance that has to be defensible from day one.

Private Equity, Family Offices & Holdings

Portfolio and holding structures that need one reporting standard across companies that were never built to share one.

Real Estate & Construction

Project-driven organizations whose headcount and procurement volumes move with the pipeline rather than with the calendar.

Energy, Agriculture & Manufacturing

Operations where the back office has to keep pace with plants, sites and supply chains rather than with an office.

Why Synergi in the Kingdom

Regional delivery, international standards

Saudi organizations are not short of consultants. What is harder to find is a partner that will design the function, then actually run it, at a size that gets senior attention rather than a junior team and a template.

We have delivered in the Kingdom

Consulting and outsourcing engagements for Saudi organizations, including designing a new outsourcing service line end to end.

The design and the delivery come from one company

We design the function and we can run it, so the operating model is written by people who will have to live inside it.

Governance built in, not bolted on

Roles, responsibilities, KPIs, performance management and reporting are part of the operating model rather than a later phase.

Scales with the mandate

Consulting, manpower augmentation and full outsourcing are the same relationship at three sizes, and engagements move between them.

Questions

Questions we are asked about outsourcing in Saudi Arabia

Has Synergi actually delivered in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Engagements in the Kingdom include designing, structuring and commercializing a new functional outsourcing service line for a Saudi workforce solutions provider, and a shared services opportunity assessment and roadmap design for a family office.
Do you have people on the ground in Saudi Arabia?
Engagements are staffed to the work rather than to a fixed location, and delivery runs from centres onshore and offshore. If on-site presence is a requirement, say so early and we will scope it explicitly rather than assume it.
Can you run the function as well as design it?
Yes, and that is usually the better outcome. Shared services design and set-up decides what to build; Build-Operate-Transfer is one way of building it, running it and handing it back.
Which functions do Saudi clients ask for first?
Most often human resources and project management, followed by technology and accounting. New entities need people and delivery capacity before they need a month-end close.
How quickly can an engagement start?
The assessment sets the timetable and it is the first thing we do. A scoped consulting engagement of the kind described above ran to four months end to end.
What about the rest of the Gulf?
The same six functions are delivered across the region. See business process outsourcing in the GCC for the regional picture.
