Dubai Outsource Zone (DOZ) will be launched next year as a sequel to Dubai's Internet City. This zone which will be like any other free zone area providing 100% tax exemption and all the other services will be another major step in the real estate sector in Dubai.
DOZ is the perfect base for both captive and third-party outsourcing operations to provide mid and high-end services in the areas such as finance, accounting, IT, payroll processing, engineering, biotech, R&D and design. It also serves as a centre for disaster recovery facilities for call centers, which are located offshore elsewhere in the world. The Zone caters to off shoring requirements from Europe, the US and the region.
DOZ's custom-made facilities including next-generation telecom infrastructure, office space in intelligent buildings and facilities management, enable outsourcing companies to set up efficient operations. The package of telecom services include reliable and redundant high-bandwidth connectivity, IP Telephony, Automatic Call Distribution (ACD), Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and Predictive Dialing systems, satellite communication services as well as technical and infrastructure support. These facilities form part of a plug-and-play infrastructure which helps offshore service providers start operations quickly with minimal upfront investment.

This region produces about 9.5 million graduates every year and offers skills in a variety of languages including English, Arabic, French, Hindi, German, Spanish, Urdu, Turkish, Greek and Italian.
