Afghan enterprise software programs are different from standard custom-software builds.
Enterprise software programs differ from standard custom-software builds in scope, governance, and team structure: multi-year timelines, multiple parallel workstreams, distributed teams, regulated environments (donor audits, government oversight), stakeholders measured in dozens, and operational complexity that scales with program size.
Our Afghan enterprise track record: the 500,000-employee national-government Odoo HR and payroll rollout (largest), Jobs.af platform (Afghanistan's largest job-hunting platform — built and shipped by NETLINKS), enterprise platforms for Afghan banks (Da Afghanistan Bank, Afghanistan Payments System), and multi-year programs for international NGOs operating in Afghanistan.
Pricing for Afghan enterprise programs: discovery $50-150K, multi-year build $500K-$10M+, managed services 15-25% of build cost annually. ISO 12207 + ISO 27001 group-level certifications standard.

— Questions
Afghan enterprise software — questions we hear.
What size programs do you handle in Afghanistan?
Largest single program: 500K-employee national-government Odoo HR rollout. Mid-scale enterprise: 1,000-50,000 user platforms typical. We've structured programs from $500K to $20M+.
How do you handle Afghan-specific operational realities?
Risk frameworks include connectivity considerations, political volatility, staff-turnover planning, donor-funding-cycle alignment, and Afghan-tax / banking constraints. Programs are structured for resilience to these — not optimized assuming idealized conditions.
Can you team with international advisors and Big 4 firms?
Yes — frequently. We engage as the execution / delivery partner under Big 4 strategy or international advisory firms working with Afghan government or donor programs. Pattern works well: Big 4 brings advisory and donor-facing reporting; NETLINKS brings Afghan delivery.
Are you cleared for sensitive Afghan government work?
Yes — we've delivered for Ministry of Interior Affairs and Ministry of Defense engagements. Specific clearances and references on request after NDA.
Where is your team based?
NETLINKS Plaza, Street 6, Lane 3, Shar-e-naw, Kabul. Phone: 077-302-0101. Senior architects and engineers based in Kabul; regional backup from Dubai, India, US.
