Our story

A founding team. A clear bet.

UTUBAA Systems was founded in 2026 in Addis Ababa by Dawit Jogora and a small founding team. The bet: that Ethiopian enterprises deserve the same enterprise software, cloud, and cybersecurity that the rest of the world takes for granted — and that the best way to deliver it is to bring the world's leaders in, and add our own on top.

A note from the founder

Ethiopia doesn't need a different kind of technology. It needs the world's best technology, delivered and implemented by a team that's here — and on the phone. That's the company we're building.

Authorized partner, end-to-end

Authorized delivery of the world's leading enterprise platforms — designed, integrated, and supported by a team that lives in your timezone.

Software that ships

Beyond what we resell, we build our own — modern stacks, rigorous engineering, and a 10x release cadence our customers measure in production.

Cybersecurity, managed

A 24/7 managed SOC staffed by Ethiopian analysts, alongside zero-trust architecture, threat intelligence, and the compliance frameworks your regulator expects.

Local, accountable, on call

No escalations to a far-off helpdesk. Same timezone, same language, same accountability — from procurement to operations.

What we deliver

Three pillars. One delivery standard.

01

Infrastructure that runs the modern enterprise

Servers, networking, data center, firewalls, and storage — designed, sized, and operated for Ethiopian enterprises that can't afford to be down.

02

Custom software on top

Senior engineers in Addis Ababa shipping product engineering, platform modernization, and regulated-environment systems at production cadence.

03

Applied AI, with governance

Intelligent agents, MLOps pipelines, and predictive systems — built responsibly, observable in production, and compliant with local data residency.

Leadership

In his own words

“We don't need to manufacture the world's best technology. We deliver and implement it — and we build the software and security on top that Ethiopian enterprises need to compete.”

Dawit started his career as a software engineer at enterprise platforms in Europe, then returned home after two decades to build what he couldn't find: a technology partner that could bring the world's best enterprise software, cloud, and security to Ethiopia — and back it with world-class custom software engineering and managed cybersecurity.

Under his leadership, UTUBAA has built a portfolio of authorized partnerships with the world's leading technology companies, opened a senior-only engineering practice in Addis Ababa, and launched a 24/7 managed SOC staffed by Ethiopian analysts. He still reviews the production alerts. He still ships code on Fridays. He still believes the best engineers are the ones closest to the customer.

Reseller, integrator, builder

We bring the world's best enterprise software, cloud, and security to Ethiopia — and build our own on top where it matters.

Software and security, end-to-end

Two of the hardest disciplines in technology. We do them with senior engineers, in-house, and we put our SLOs in writing.

Compounding over campaign

We don't optimize for a quarter. We optimize for a decade. Our customers know the difference — and so does our roadmap.
