Adrian Pickering, Regional General Manager, EMEA, Red Hat, has outlined that participating at this year’s GITEX Technology Week is critical for the company especially now with fast-tracked Digital Transformation initiatives happening across the region.
According to Pickering, accelerated Digital Transformation is a major trend that continues to affect the company’s business this year. “As expected, organisational dependence on technology has increased substantially due to the pandemic and enterprises continue to require greater digital capabilities to succeed in their respective sectors.
“Looking ahead, the importance of technology and deploying those with the capabilities to meet requirements for an array of sectors will only increase. Therefore, we are experiencing greater demand for open source software,” he said. “Widespread Digital Transformation is driving our presence and influence in several areas of IT technology development across different sectors and the open source software and solutions we provide will continue to drive sustainability and success for enterprises moving forward.
He explained that from Red Hat’s perspective attending GITEX 2020 to introduce new innovations to the market, network with new and existing clients and interact with industry personnel and representatives from public and private sector organisations across the GCC is important. “As we all know, GITEX is the region’s flagship technology show. We are proud of our long-standing association with the event, which is a focal point for the majority of regional technology users. We are also attending GITEX because the event is a formative platform for showcasing and experiencing the future.
