# DigitalQatalyst > DigitalQatalyst (formerly Arqitek Advisory) is a digital transformation consultancy and Digital Business Platform (DBP) provider founded in Dubai in 2015. It designs, builds, and deploys integrated digital platforms for enterprise and government organisations — taking them from transformation strategy to a running, owned platform "in weeks not months." Its model is architecture-first and built to transfer capability to the client rather than create dependency on a consultant. ## What DigitalQatalyst does - Designs and deploys **Digital Business Platforms (DBP)** — integrated, composable platforms connecting every business function. - Delivers end-to-end through a single five-phase lifecycle: **Envision → Model → Specify → Prototype → Run**. - Helps organisations become a **Digital Cognitive Organisation (DCO)** — built on five capabilities: Human Intelligence, Digital Business Platform, Intelligent Operations, Continuous Learning, and Artificial Intelligence woven into every layer. - Provides advisory, platform design, platform deployment, managed transformation services, diagnostics, and academy/workforce enablement as one connected system. ## Signature frameworks and IP (developed by DigitalQatalyst) - **6xD Framework** — six dimensions/perspectives for understanding and executing digital transformation, from market context to delivery accelerators. - **Digital Cognitive Organisation (DCO)** — DigitalQatalyst's target operating model where intelligence is built into the organisation, not bolted on. ## Key facts - **Canonical name:** DigitalQatalyst (also written "Digital Qatalyst"; former name "Arqitek Advisory" / "Arqitek"). - **Founded:** 2015, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (Opal Tower, Business Bay). - **Founder & CEO:** Dr. Stephane Niango (Chief Transformation Architect). - **Markets served:** GCC — UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman — and international. - **Scale:** 100+ organisations across 6+ countries, from GCC government entities to regional financial institutions. - **Mission:** Democratise the deployment of Digital Business Platforms. - **What makes it different:** architecture-first ("no blueprint, no build"), delivery-connected, and capability-transfer (client owns the platform and operating model at the end — not a perpetual retainer). ## Pages - [Home](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/): Overview of the platform, products, and services. - [About](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/about): Origin story, mission/vision, the DCO model, the team (the "Qatalysts"). - [Offerings](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/offerings): Digital Business Platform services and products hub. - [6xD Framework](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/framework): The six-dimension digital transformation framework. - [Digital Business Platform (DBP)](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/framework/dbp): What the DBP is and how it integrates the full DQ ecosystem. - [DCO Overview](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/dco-overview): What a Digital Cognitive Organisation is and how to become one. - [Design Services](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/design-services): Platform design and architecture consulting services. - [Contact](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/contact): Book a consultation. ### Offerings — technology suite - [DTMB — The 6 Digital Perspectives (6xD)](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/offerings/dtmb): The six-blueprint methodology underpinning every DBP engagement. - [DTMA — Digital Transformation Management Academy](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/offerings/dtma): Workforce enablement and capability-transfer academy for transformation teams. ### Offerings — products - [DTMP — Digital Transformation Management Platform](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/offerings/products/dtmp): Blueprint-based platform for designing, deploying, and governing DBP.io solutions at scale. - [DTO4T — Digital Twin of Transformation](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/offerings/products/dto4t): Eight specialised AI agents coordinated by a shared intelligence layer inside the DBP. - [TwinGM — The Transformation Graph Model](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/offerings/products/twingm): Knowledge-graph layer that maps every transformation relationship and dependency. ### Offerings — services - [Deploy Services](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/offerings/services/deploy): End-to-end platform deployment — from architecture to go-live. - [Design Services](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/offerings/services/design): Platform design, UX, and solution architecture services. - [Managed Services](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/offerings/services/managed-services): Ongoing managed transformation and platform operations programmes. ### Offerings — ecosystems - [B2B2C Ecosystems](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/offerings/ecosystems/b2b2c): Digital platforms connecting businesses to end consumers through a shared ecosystem layer. - [B2B2B Ecosystems](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/offerings/ecosystems/b2b2b): Inter-enterprise digital ecosystems enabling network-level value creation. - [Managed Marketplaces](https://www.digitalqatalyst.com/offerings/ecosystems/managed-marketplaces): Fully managed digital marketplace platforms built on the DBP. ## Contact - Website: https://www.digitalqatalyst.com - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/digitalqatalyst - Location: Opal Tower, Business Bay, Dubai, UAE
