Dell EMC hosted a forum in Riyadh with over 2,000 senior business and IT leaders in attendance at the event showcasing the unparalleled solutions portfolio and united capabilities of the newly combined company to help enterprises across the Kingdom accelerate business and national transformation initiatives.
The day-long forum focused on delivering key insights and best practices to help enterprises in the Kingdom maximize performance demands to stay ahead in an ever competitive and changing business environment.
At the event, Dell EMC revealed the findings of a study that outlines heightened business support for changes in ICT strategies and investments in light of the recent announcement of Saudi Vision 2030. 
The study revealed that 75 percent of business leaders believe ICT to play an essential and complementary role to enable national aspirations for 2030.
The study further revealed that while business leaders do agree on the importance of ICT to achieve the broader national vision, 93 percent of businesses believe demands from Vision 2030 will necessitate the need to rethink ICT strategy and investments within their own organizations.
Moreover, 47 percent of business leaders reported the announcement of mandates set by the vision.
The study also revealed a significant interest from business leaders to invest in core ICT related skill sets to help the organization sustain competitive differentiation.
