Egnyte Deepens Commitment to Middle East Enterprises with AI-Powered Offerings; Launches Right-to-Left Language Support for Arabic Web Interface
AEC-focused AI agents, Project Hub for a common data environment, AI Safeguards, and right-to-left language support together establish the connected, intelligent, and governed data foundation needed to deliver mega projects.
DUBAI, UAE, September 9, 2026 – Egnyte, a leader in secure content collaboration, intelligence, and governance, today announced specialised Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) focused capabilities, along with right-to-left (RTL) language support for Arabic in the web interface. Complementing these capabilities are Egnyte’s pre-built AI agents for AEC companies and AI Safeguards for granular control over how AI interacts with sensitive content. Together, these new features help Middle East enterprises connect and govern project information, turn trusted data into actionable intelligence, and secure their AI-powered workflows and processes.
“AI-powered construction starts with context. Firms in the built environment generate enormous amounts of valuable project information, but AI needs more than access to documents to put that information to work,” said Stan Hansen, Chief Operating Officer at Egnyte. “With Project Hub, pre-built industry agents, RTL language support, and our governed data foundation, we are helping companies connect their data across teams and technology platforms and use this trusted data to power AI automation.”
Egnyte Project Hub: Project Hub provides AEC firms with a centralised environment for organising and managing project information throughout the project lifecycle. It helps standardise project structures, automate project setup and lifecycle processes, manage access, and connect project information with existing industry technology platforms such as Procore and Autodesk.
Egnyte's pre-built AI agents for AEC include:
Specifications Analyst: Specifications Analyst applies AI to large, complex project specifications, helping AEC professionals find and analyse relevant requirements without manually searching hundreds or thousands of pages.
Contract Analyst: Contract Analyst can help teams analyse complex contracts and related project documents, surface key information, summarise content, and answer questions grounded in the underlying documents, referencing common frameworks such as FIDIC and RICS.
Building Code Analyst: Building Code Analyst helps AEC professionals research building code requirements using AI, including jurisdiction-specific requirements and amendments, while allowing users to verify information against source material.
Secure Intelligence with AI Safeguards
AI Safeguards help prevent sensitive data from being included in AI-generated responses. Customers can manage which groups and users, file locations, and file properties are permitted to interact with AI. AI-generated responses are also tailored in accordance with the safeguards implemented by the company and users’ access to content.
Right-to-Left (RTL) Language Support
Egnyte’s RTL language support for Arabic in the web interface provides users with a more native and intuitive platform, with mirrored navigation, proper handling of bidirectional text, and localised interface elements. Knowledge workers who use Arabic can now navigate the system, manage files, share content, and collaborate in their preferred language without any workarounds or separate tools. RTL support extends Egnyte's localisation capabilities, essential for platform adoption, especially in industries such as financial services, aviation, energy and more.
“Middle East enterprises deserve technology that is built for them, not adapted to them,” said Mohammad Alfaour, Managing Director for Middle East and North Africa at Egnyte. “By combining RTL usability with content governance, secure collaboration, and AI solutions, Egnyte provides an information foundation for AI-powered construction and offers customers a differentiated alternative to general-purpose productivity platforms.”
Mega projects require consistent information management across multiple organisations and project phases. Egnyte's collaboration and governance capabilities can support the implementation of information management practices aligned with ISO 19650 and asset management practices aligned with ISO 55001, including structured project information, controlled access, version management, audit trails, lifecycle management, and secure collaboration.
“Egnyte is the backbone for all our delivery data, allowing our teams to search and collaborate across platforms from a single location, keeping information organised and accessible, without heavy overhead and project setup costs. With Egnyte’s secure collaboration, our teams can find information faster from any location and on any device. The speed and agility of file server replacement is complemented by comprehensive data governance solutions and future-proofing capabilities, ensuring our data is protected and compliant across our projects and extending to our JVs and delivery partnerships across the region,” said Najib Dalank, Head of Information Technology at ALEC Holdings.
Egnyte’s platform provides customers with a reliable and scalable global cloud infrastructure that supports local data residency requirements across the Middle East and North Africa region, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), and Qatar. The company has its data centre in the UAE, built on Microsoft Azure, with applications also running on Google Cloud across the region.
AI features are designed to assist users and may require human review. Features and results may vary by plan configuration.
