the objective of Enterprise Channels MEa is to create awareness about the increasing influence of iCt on various vertical markets. the magazine focuses on how iCt as a solution is impacting the entire market in terms of enhancing productivity of the workers and efficiency of the services.
through various sections, the magazine talks about trends of the market from the implementation, usage and buying perspective. We emphasize on how the enterprises can be benefited by implementing new age technologies like virtualization, cloud computing, saas, enterprise security, enterprise surveillance, enterprise communications, mobility, Byod, etc.
the magazine also creates a bridge between the iCt vendors and enterprises or institutional buyers through the channel partners or appropriate resellers. it enhances awareness about the importance of selling solutions and services and discourages the partners from dealing solely with products. We emphasize on how the channel partners can improve their scope of earning by embracing business around the solutions.
therefore various sections of the magazine are dedicated to the topics related to market opportunity, scope of investment, technology trends, vertical market performance, growth direction, buying behaviour, etc. the magazine caters to channel partners including resellers, sis, service Providers, isvs, isPs, network integrators and vads in the industry and CXos of all vertical market segments including Hospitality, Healthcare, retail, Education, Media, Govt. and BFsi, etc.

G ITEX Technology Week & GITEX Future Stars have opened the door to the future as the 2018 editions of the mammoth global tech event geared up to offer a hands-on exploration of the digital tech set to transform how we live. From emergency-service rescue robots, through VR for the workplace, to the intelli-tech allowing entire cities to be run by Artificial Intelligence (AI), GITEX Technology is inviting visitors to ‘Experience Future Urbanism’ at a show buzzing with the unveiling of both cutting edge soft and hardware which developers
say will realign everything we know about travel, work and play. The five-day tech summit is held side by side with GITEX Future Stars (October 14-17); the MENA region’s hottest platform for bringing award-winning ‘techpreneurs’ to investors, where over 850 international startups will have the chance to meet more than 1,500 investors and corporate buyers. Think products that are beyond reality: AI that can interpret emotion through voice (Empath Inc) or predict fashion trends (Stylumia); a wearable, real-time translation earpiece (Timekettle); or even
Healthcare firm Bioniks, who have amalgamated robotics and 3D printing to create Iron Man style prosthetics. Developers of space tech will also be involved, shooting for the stars in the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre’s Innovation Cup – one of four industry-sponsored Innovation Cups. With 5,000+ firms from more than 100 countries exhibiting over 1.4 million square feet of floor space, GITEX Technology Week and GITEX Future Stars will welcome more than 100,000 visitors when they get underway next month.

9 OCT 2018, V HOTEL - AL HABTOOR CITY, DUBAI
GEC AWARDS 2018 GALLOPS A BAR HIGHER!T he GEC Awards 2018 presented by Dell EMC held on 9th October at The V Hotel – Al Habtoor City, Dubai ended on a high note witnessing the gathering of the C – Level Executives and top IT professionals. GEC Awards celebrated its 5th year honouring excel-lence in the IT industry. Going with the Derby theme this year, the horse race presented a perfect example of the market. The horses (vendors) who run like a wind are taken to the end goal by the perfect jockey (channel partners). The ultimate goal of it is to satisfy the bidders (customers ofcourse) who put in their money and trust on the race. The race is a steeplechase in the present
market condition with lots and lots of obstacles in the race. Ms. Anushree Dixit, Editor of Enterprise Channels MEA commented – “GEC Awards, that was established in 2014, has organically grown into one of the bench-mark events in the IT industry in recognizing solutions and services that have stood the test of time. Like every year, in 2018 also we received an overwhelming number of nominations in each of the categories. One of the significant determining parameters that the nomina-tions went through this time was what we call ‘Cultural Change’. Technology has been there for the past 100 years and it has been evolving at its own pace, but until and unless a company changes its culture to be adaptive
to changes, no change is possible.” The deserving win-ners were chosen out of the 300+ nominations in Top Vendors, Top Distributors, Top Resellers, Top SI’s, Top Project Execution. The debut of Business Transforma-tion Awards was a huge success with 19 niche winners. Mr. Arun Shankar, Editor of Business Transformation commented – “The first GEC BT Awards recognizes vendors, channels partners, end users who are adopting fundamentals of digital transformation as a part of their new business outlook. In the short span, since
the launch of BT from GEC Media, 19 winners were recognized across 3 award categories, an indication of the activity within the regional ICT industry.”
