ATL Cairo was initially part of the prestigious Microsoft Research organization. Our impact was measured through the tech transfers we completed to the various Microsoft product teams and, ultimately, the release of our technologies into Microsoft products. Over the years, we migrated to be part of the product teams themselves and expanded our responsibilities from tech transfers to full ownership of specific Microsoft products. Throughout, we maintained our scientific edge. In parallel, other organizations established development teams in Cairo that co-exist with ATL Cairo under the umbrella of EgDC. Based on that 15-years history, we consider EgDC to be a dev center deeply rooted in science.

- Improving Healthcare Revenue Cycle Management
Private healthcare providers in the Middle East have 70-80% of their revenues come through insurance companies their patients have used whilst enjoying the services they
provide. This puts a significant strain on these organisations as the gap between the actual expenses paid by the healthcare provider and collection of the related revenues takes at least 1 month.
