On September 14, Global CIO Forum in association with Mindware, successfully hosted the Saudi Arabia edition of the Network Transformation and Cloud Readiness WebSummit. The websummit discussed the upcoming wave in network transformation in Saudi Arabia.

With government measures to control the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic still in effect in Saudi Arabia, organisations have had to prioritise IT investments that enable their employees to work from home. The transition of employees to remote working arrangements has also meant that organisations must now ensure seamless and secure access to applications and data across the Internet and home networks.

  • How organisations can maximise network efficiency and expand network capacity with market-leading WAN optimisation technology
  • How a unified performance monitoring solution provides deep and broad visibility and analytics
  • How organisations can ensure the fastest, most reliable delivery of SaaS, cloud and on-premises applications
  • How organisations can modernise their network with a software-defined architecture that delivers cloud-ready agility and cost savings
