As Saudi gears up for a digitised future, several industries are ripe for disruption. In order to keep up with the exponential technological advancements the world is currently witnessing, blockchain seems to be gradually becoming one of the top priorities for many organizations in the Middle East.
In fact, Mr. Dinny Antony Peter, IBM Software Growth Business Leader at Saudi Business Machines (SBM), who is one of the speakers at Saudi Arabia’s first Blockchain event, recently commented on how SBM’s prime focus in 2018 is to help Customers with Digital Transformation.
“Blockchain is in the forefront of many Digital Transformation projects across the kingdom and during the Decoding Blockchain KSA 2018 Conference, we would be briefing the customers about the use cases with recommended best practices to adopt Blockchain,” he added.
But a successful implementation of Blockchain requires a strong partnership with a technology provider that understands its intricacies and potential applications.
In light of this new disruptive technology, SBM and IBM together are helping customers in Saudi Arabia with regional and worldwide case studies of successful blockchain deployments.
While SBM is believed to be the Kingdom’s leading provider of end-to-end enterprise information technology and telecommunications solutions, it is also the General Marketing and Services Representative of IBM World Trade Corporation in Saudi Arabia.
SBM has a full company organization designed to make it flexible and adaptive to the changing and developing requirements of its’ customers, and has access to IBM’s worldwide practices, resources and knowledge bases to implement major ICT solutions in Saudi Arabia.
Today, SBM and IBM are joining hands together to help organizations implement Blockchain Solutions for the National Transformation Program (NTP) aligned to Vision 2030 of Saudi Arabia.
In light of these developments, Bizwingz Production House is hosting Saudi Arabia’s very first blockchain conference, Decoding Blockchain KSA 2018. The conference offers unique networking opportunities for attendees to connect with Fintech and Blockchain industry leaders and innovators who are looking to explore the distributed ledger technology, while providing an ideal platform to understand the promising technology of Blockchain in the modern Middle East world.
The conference will present a range of speaker sessions through which participants are given the opportunity to meet with innovators who offer business solutions that will help banks and financial institutions reduce costs and improve efficiency and integrity.
Come watch the best minds in the blockchain industry from across the pan-Saudi region, as well as the rest of the world, convene on a single platform on the 23rd and 24th of April, 2018 at (venue).
