Kyndryl, the world’s largest IT infrastructure services provider, Monday expressed its unwavering commitment to help drive digital transformation in Egypt at its official launch event.
The event brought together dozens of government officials, customers, business partners and members of the press to discuss the advantages of new and emerging technologies in speeding digitalization and innovation as well as spurring the country’s competitive growth.
Accelerated by the disruptive changes brought on from the global pandemic and the pressures on
organizations to adapt swiftly, businesses and governments are reevaluating priorities, key investment, and new strategies to adapt. Digital transformation and enterprise technologies such as cloud, and artificial intelligence, are imperative for the demands of new work environments.
According to IDC, approximately 65% of global GDP will be digitalized by 2022 as companies and organizations build on strategies and investments to scale for the future of business.
“With a global economy still recalibrating from the far-reaching effects of the pandemic, enterprises everywhere are reorienting their approaches for future growth and innovation,” said Mahmoud Badawi, Managing Director, Kyndryl Egypt. “At Kyndryl, we are committed to serving as a trusted partner to our customers in Egypt and across the world not only to help accelerate their digital transformation agendas but also to remain competitive, even during disruptive moments.”
