Middle East’s ICT Sector Shows Highest Growth Potential Among Global Markets
Published Jan 24, 2010

Research covering the international information and communications technology (ICT) markets shows that the Middle East has the best growth potential in 2010.
IDC MEA, the top market intelligence and advisory firm serving the Middle East, Turkey and Africa (MEA) territories, will gather 100 of the region’s top ICT decision makers to discuss industry opportunities, trends and best practices at the upcoming IDC Middle East CIO Summit 2010 to be held from January 24 to 25, 2010 at the Madinat Jumeirah Resort in Dubai.
Injazat Data Systems, the leading information technology and business process managed services provider in the UAE and the Middle East and the Summit’s Gold Sponsor, will deliver a presentation on the use of managed IT services as strategic business tools.
The company will also identify key prospects within the Gulf’s thriving ICT sector, which has the potential to expand into a USD45 billion industry this year.
The Summit will address vital industry issues in areas such as data centre efficiency, data and storage management, security, regulatory compliance, virtualization, and enhanced ICT-business alignment.
It will also feature other key presentations from industry leaders.
“The impacts of government stimulus programs undertaken across the region during the past year are expected to be felt during the first half of 2010.
The ICT industry thus needs to be prepared to meet the demands that will emerge from an expected recovery.
ICT products and services are still viewed as essential by most organizations; it is the CIO’s task to convince partners and customers of the importance of ICT in optimizing business performance and ensuring competitiveness amidst today’s challenging markets,” said Ibrahim Mohamed Lari, CEO, Injazat Data Systems.
Injazat has been able to gain a leadership position in the Middle East’s rapidly growing data centre segment by opening the region’s first and only Tier IV design-certified data centre.
Its support for the latest edition of the IDC Middle East CIO Summit continues its active participation in major industry gatherings; last year, Injazat hosted the inaugural Data Centre Strategies Middle East Forum and sponsored the first-ever Cloud Computing / SaaS Summit in the UAE.
The IDC Middle East CIO Summit 2010 is the regional leg of global market intelligence firm IDC’s third annual CIO Summit Series 2010, which will also tour Turkey and Africa.
To be held under the theme ‘From Pressure to Performance,’ the three-part Summit will run until March 2010 and will focus on the cost reduction, optimization and efficiency challenges faced by CIOs in light of today’s difficult business environments.
Injazat Data Systems, a joint venture between Mubadala Development Co. and HP, holds 45.5% of IS Outsourcing foundation market.
