FeatureOffices are supporting remote working, governments and banks are offering more e-services, and educational institutions are enabling remote and hybrid learning.
Every Middle East organisation faces the same business challenges and market uncertainty due to coronavirus, and are turning to digital solutions to weather the storm. The pandemic has also brought the technology ecosystem together to find technology solutions for short-term and long-term business challenges.
Middle East organisations are fixing overdue issues, accelerating their digital transformation, and developing innovative new business models. For example: offices are supporting remote working, governments and banks are offering more e-services, and educational institutions are enabling remote and hybrid learning.
In 2021, Condo Protego expects the Middle East to continue its digital shift, with continued adoption of solutions across hybrid cloud, data storage, information management, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and cybersecurity. As more organisations digitise on the cloud, they will also need to ensure that their networks are secure from rapidly evolving and growing cyber-threats, particularly ransomware.
Thanks to government-led digital transformation agendas, such as UAE Vision 2021, the government and public sector will continue to drive regional IT spending in 2021. Government and public sector organisations are continuing to modernise their IT infrastructure to support new and innovative citizen services.
In 2021, as hybrid work and education environments are expected to continue, the UAE and Middle East’s banking and finance and education sectors are set to continue their digital transformation and IT spend. E-commerce is likely to continue to remain steady, driving further IT investment from the retail sector. As the Middle East’s businesses begin to emerge from the pandemic, the retail, tourism, and hospitality sectors could also see increased investment in digital transformation and related projects.
Despite the challenges of 2020, Condo Protego continues to post growth and gain business competitiveness. Over the past year, Condo Protego has joined Secureworks’ Global Partner Programme, aligning with one of the leading cybersecurity vendors. Already in 2021, Condo Protego has expanded its team, especially in growing the number of experienced and certified VMware consultants. Condo Protego is continuing to help organisations to modernise future-ready digital infrastructure across cloud, security, and the distributed workforce.
In 2021, Condo Protego aims to continue to grow our business, weather the pandemic and emerge stronger from it, and further support Middle East market needs in enabling an organisation’s digital transformation. The Middle East market saw major disruption in 2020, and in 2021 Condo Protego aims to remain agile to weather any changes that may occur at short notice.
Condo Protego is continuing to align with industry-leading technology vendors that are driving digital innovation, including Dell Technologies, VMware, Veritas, along with Secureworks, RSA, Symantec, Quantum, and Forcepoint. As part of Condo Protego’s professional development, the company is continuing to train its staff on the latest digital solutions.
