DELL EMC announced the successful launch of their biggest ever Dell EMC Forum 2016 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Held at the Four Seasons Hotel, through this one day conference Dell EMC aims to showcase the united capabilities of the newly combined company and enable organizations in the Kingdom to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital economy. In line with the theme "Let the Transformation Begin" the event brings together an audience of over 2000 business and IT decision makers to discuss how their digital future aligns to the Kingdom's national aspirations in view of Saudi Vision 2030 set to transform the way every business in every industry operates. In addition to keynotes and breakout sessions designed to help organizations charter steps to modernize the technology infrastructure and services to deliver the maximum performance, the regional Dell EMC leaders will reveal the findings of a Saudi-focused study that outlines heightened business support for changes in ICT strategies and investments in light of the recent announcement of Saudi Vision 2030. According to 2016 research by analysts at BMI, total technology spending in Saudi Arabia is set to grow at a CAGR of 1.8% to reach SR42.8 billion in 2019. Saudi Arabia has the opportunity to make a quantum leap in using technology solutions to resolve pressing business issues – the lack of outdated infrastructure combined with the public and private sectors' focus on creating employment opportunities and forging a digital transformation in education, financial services, government and other key sectors. Positioned as a "Leader" in 20 Gartner Magic Quadrants with a portfolio of more than 20,000 patents and applications, through this platform, Dell EMC executives will focus on bringing the power of their combined investment in R&D – more than $12.7 billion over the last three years to extend the industry's most complete set of capabilities in the fastest-growing areas of the industry including hybrid cloud, software-defined data center, converged infrastructure, platform-as-a-service, data analytics, mobility and cybersecurity to help organizations meet the diverse needs of their own IT vision for 2030 and facilitate innovation across every aspect of industry and human life.
