Frequently asked questions

Who should pick DSO over DIC?

DSO for hardware, IoT, R&D and physical-product tech. DIC for pure software, SaaS, cloud and enterprise IT. DSO is cheaper; DIC is more prestigious for software.

Can I manufacture products in DSO?

Light manufacturing yes. Heavy industrial manufacturing goes to JAFZA or KIZAD in Abu Dhabi. DSO handles electronics assembly, PCB production, prototyping and R&D-scale manufacturing.

Is DSO good for e-commerce?
