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.
