Five Years
1981 to 1985
In 1981, two men started a company – Khaleej Information Systems. It sold MAI BasicFour and the Verbatim Floppy Disk Media. Their initial clients included Choithrams, Al Khaleej, Rais Hasan Sadi. Soon enough, Khaleej Information Systems bought Key Information Technology, a British Company which served clients from multiple industries; BBC Microcomputer Systems were supplied to English medium schools and Home-users as they were primarily for Education and Gaming purpose whereas Corona Computers were more suitable for Office and Corporate environments. In the next few years, they partnered with MICROS and ventured into the field of Hospitality. They catered to the companies like Meridian and Metropolitan. Simultaneously, they also provided support for Raytheon-based systems.

1986 to 1990
KIT served clients from multiple industries; BBC Microcomputer Systems were supplied to English medium schools and Home-users as they were primarily for Education and Gaming purpose whereas Corona Computers, later to be renamed Cordata, were more suitable for Office and Corporate environments. KIT initially distributed the Facet Daisywheel Printers, later moving on to Citizen Dot-Matrix Printers and later switched over to HP Laser Printers. KIT’s constant search for new and better technology was an inspiration to create Keytech, our own brand of computers – an IBM PC-Compatible built around 8086 based processors, later moving up to Intel 80286 based systems. Keytech Software was also developed which supported readymade packages like Multimate, Lotus, Data Base, etc. Meanwhile, KIT tied up with Novell Inc., the leading Local Area Networking operating system of the time and partnered with Samsung Computers. Later, KIT represented Everex and distributed Graphtec and AutoCad in the UAE.
