Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) hosted Reimagine 2017, a day-long event to address the growing needs of market leaders in Saudi Arabia to leverage opportunities and demonstrate agility in implementing innovation in Information Technology.
Held at Al-Faisaliah Hotel in Riyadh, the event presented solutions such as Hybrid IT, Intelligent Edge and Transformation Services, linking back to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 that promotes the development of a strong digital infrastructure.
Twenty-two thought leaders delivered insightful perspectives and solutions to inspire market leaders ready to drive the digital transformation within their respective organizations, ultimately driving the enhancement of industries and the economy.
Khaled Al-Dhaher, managing director of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Saudi Arabia, and one of the keynote speakers, said: “Saudi Arabia is rapidly moving toward a digital economy and as long-term strategic partners, we have a key role in driving innovation, facilitating knowledge transfer, and supporting businesses get ready for digital transformation. We believe in building a strong partner ecosystem wherein the combined efforts of members not only enhance industries but support boosting the economy as a whole.”
Over 750 representatives from leading public and private organizations attended the event and had access to keynote sessions, discussions as well as demonstrations. The event also provided a platform to determine existing sentiment and efforts employed across market leaders through an on-site poll. The results indicated that a little more than half of the organizations represented through attendance have already set in motion plans for digital transformation, and are investing in innovation.
The results also indicated that there is good traction in the development of Internet of Things-based (IoT) projects, with approximately a quarter of the respondents having projects underway. More than half of the responses indicated that IoT is still an option to be considered or are yet to determine their strategies.
HPE continues to bring global experience to the Saudi Arabian market. For more than 30 years, HPE has been the technology partner of choice for both public and private sectors in Saudi Arabia.
