Frequently Asked Questions
How much does custom software cost in Dubai?
Custom software development in Dubai costs range from AED 50,000 for basic applications to AED 500,000+ for complex enterprise solutions with integrations. Atlio provides transparent, itemized quotes after a discovery phase based on your specific features, technology stack, and timeline. Costs depend on complexity, third-party integrations, and platform requirements. For example, a CRM system integrating UAE Pass and local payment gateways typically costs AED 150,000-300,000 depending on features and scalability needs.
When should I choose custom software over off-the-shelf?
Choose custom software when your business processes require specialized workflows that standard products cannot accommodate. Atlio recommends custom solutions for companies needing ERP integrations, legacy system connections, or UAE-specific compliance requirements. Custom software is ideal if you need to integrate 3+ systems, require Arabic/RTL interface design, or face regulatory requirements like NESA for government work. Off-the-shelf solutions often force you to adapt processes to the tool—custom software adapts to your business logic.
Do you integrate with UAE-specific systems?
Absolutely. Atlio integrates with all major UAE systems including UAE Pass, Emirates ID, and local payment gateways such as PayTabs, Network International, and Telr. We also connect with JAFZA customs systems, DHA/HAAD healthcare platforms, and NESA-compliant security architectures for government clients. Our integration experience spans fintech compliance, government portals, healthcare platforms, and e-commerce across the UAE region.
How do you handle data security and compliance?
Atlio implements enterprise-grade security by following UAE PDPL, GDPR, and SOC 2 standards for all custom software. Our approach includes end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication, and comprehensive audit logging. We conduct security assessments, implement zero-trust architecture where required, and maintain SOC 2 Type II certification. Your data is protected at rest and in transit, with regular penetration testing and vulnerability scans ensuring compliance with UAE regulatory requirements.
What is your development process?
Atlio follows agile/scrum methodology with 2-week sprints, regular stakeholder demos, and continuous feedback cycles. Our process includes discovery analysis, requirements documentation, UX/UI design sprints, development with code reviews, rigorous QA testing, and team training before go-live. You maintain direct access to senior engineers throughout the project—no project managers or offshore handoffs. Typical projects deliver working software every 2 weeks with full visibility and the ability to adjust scope based on evolving needs.
Do you provide ongoing support after launch?
Yes. Atlio offers comprehensive maintenance packages covering security updates, performance optimization, bug fixes, and feature enhancements. Our post-launch support includes 24/7 monitoring, proactive incident response, database optimization, and compatibility updates with new operating system versions. We also provide feature development roadmaps and quarterly business reviews to ensure your software continues delivering ROI as your business grows.
