About OTMA

Founded in Riyadh in 2022. Built to close the gap between AI ambition and AI outcomes in enterprise.

Why we exist

Enterprise AI projects fail at an alarming rate — not because the technology is wrong, but because the delivery is. OTMA was founded to fix that: bringing engineered, accountable AI agents to global businesses that need outcomes, not theatre.

Where we are going

To become the most trusted partner for enterprise AI in the GCC and emerging markets — the firm that CIOs call when the roadmap is approved and the outcome needs to be delivered.

The founding story

After 15 years working inside enterprise data and CRM environments — leading digital transformation at scale across Saudi industry — Khaled Ali kept seeing the same pattern: large AI budgets, expensive consultants, and very little running in production. The gap between what AI could do and what enterprises were actually getting was not a technology problem. It was a delivery problem. OTMA was founded in 2022 to close that gap.

What we stand for

Outcomes, not theatre

We measure success in production deployments and measurable business results — not impressive demos or lengthy strategy documents.

Honest before optimistic

We tell you what AI can and cannot do for your situation. If your data is not ready, we say so. That honesty is what makes our outcomes trustworthy.

Arabic and English equally

Bilingual AI is a design requirement in every system we build — not a localisation patch. Your Arabic-speaking customers and employees get the same experience.

You own everything

All code, models, and infrastructure run on your cloud account. We train your team to operate it. You are never dependent on us to keep the lights on.
