Sage Middle East delved into the complex and exciting world of ubiquitous computing trends in business by hosting a luncheon discussion on trends in disruptive technologies at Dubai’s Shangri-La Hotel on 20th January.

The luncheon held in Dubai is the latest edition of Sage’s GCC series of discussions on trends in technology for business. The distinctive event focusing on technological trends and developments is a part of Sage’s efforts at invoking discussions and knowledge sharing amongst thought leaders, government personnel, entrepreneurs, managers, and C-level executives across the UAE.

“One of our goals at the luncheon was to outline to the business community here in the UAE, the trends and their accompanying challenges to be mindful of, and highlight the Sage products and services to mitigate and manage these challenging but fascinating changes,” said Mr. Jeremy Waterman, Managing Director of Sage ERP Africa & Middle East.

Data analytics, mobility, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are amongst the range of topics that were explored. “Through luncheon we explored not only what is meant by terms such as IoT, Industry 4.0, and data analytics but discussed how these can be applied to various business organizations and specific business functions,’’ said Mr. Reggie Fernandes, Vice President, Sage X3 Middle East, Regional Director – Sage Middle East.
