EC News DeskPwC Middle East has made a substantial strategic investment in Zero&One with the aim to support their clients’ digital transformation with an underlying commitment to growth and investment in the region. As the first homegrown AWS Premier Consulting Partner in the MENA region, Zero&One will help PwC boost its technology offering and digital capabilities. This will surely be a step in the right direction during this era of Digital Transformation.
As Ali Hosseini, Chief Digital Officer of PwC Middle East, put it, “The investment in Zero&One grows our cloud capability and existing proposition at a time where AWS has committed to opening a number of AWS data centers in the UAE. Investing in Zero&One, the first and only local AWS Premier Partner in the Middle East, gives us end-to-end cloud transformation capability, from strategy to execution. With bilingual capabilities and a presence in the UAE and Lebanon, we’re confident that this investment further enables PwC to serve clients better in the region and explore new opportunities around cloud migration, modernization, and cloud-native services.”
Cloud migration and transformation are of importance to large, medium, small businesses. Along with the launch of the second AWS Region in the Middle East – the first in the UAE – Zero&One is ready to support and enhance the cloud journey for all customers and partners.
“For PwC, this is another important investment amongst many we have made into the region’s technology sector, where we constantly look to innovate and build strategic partnerships to play a vital role in the region’s digital transformation and accelerate our clients’ growth and transformation ambitions,” said Stephen Anderson, Clients & Markets Leader of PwC Middle East.
CEO Ali El Kontar added, “We are excited and humbled to have PwC on board with us, especially given the exceedingly popular and in-demand attitudes around the services we offer, from cloud migrations to application modernization, DevOps, Analytics, and much more, in addition to our mutual focus on being people-driven businesses. We are confident this investment will enable us to give even more to our customers while taking this opportunity to expand in the region and scale to support digital adoption that is growing exponentially.”
