CISCO, announced today their participation in the 3rd E-Government Forum (EGOV3) to be held from 15 – 17 November 2015 at Arraya Ballroom of Courtyard Marriott hotel.
“It is our pleasure to participate in this technology event, especially as it convenes under the patronage of His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Mubarak Al-Hamad AL-Sabah. EGOV3 is not only enjoying Kuwaiti leadership attention, but is also attracting most industry leaders.
CISCO, with its leading global position, has a lot to show and share.
We are pleased to work with NoufEXPO and CAIT who are serving Kuwait’s IT industry with this annual technology gathering.”
“Technology trends shape our lives today and will continue to do so in the future.
We realize the role that key business architectures and solutions will play in digital transformation including Security, Cloud, Data Center and Analytics, Mobility, Application Centric Infrastructure, and Collaboration.
CISCO also realizes how these technologies are and will play an increasingly important role in improving the quality of life, not just for upcoming generations, but for everyone today.
We believe that CISCO is in an excellent position to partner with E-Government programs that aim to shape the progress of societies and people.”
The Internet of Things (IoT), the networked connection of devices where we are today, is the foundation for next wave of the internet which we are already witnessing today, The Internet of Everything (IoE), which will connect people, processes, data and things, creating unprecedented opportunities.
When people, process, data, and things are brought together seamlessly through intelligent networked connections – institutions are transformed.
They can then offer new customer and citizen experiences, improved operational efficiencies, breakthrough innovations and entirely new economic models for services and growth.
Over the next decade, the IoE will deliver $19T of value to individuals, businesses and countries and Cisco is helping its customers to take advantage of the next wave of the internet.
“In order for Middle East cities to embrace the IoE, each institution must become fully digitized.
Becoming a digital business requires an agile IT model, and the ability to rethink core processes for the digital era.
Embracing new security, cloud, mobile, social and analytics technologies required to fully digitize takes imagination, investment and expertise.
As the networked connection of people, process, data and things, the Internet of Everything has the potential to further accelerate the Middle East region’s pace of change.
Energy can be saved by equipping street lights with intelligent sensors, so they can be dimmed or brightened based on motion.
Healthcare can be improved by connecting rural patients with chronic diseases to doctors, without ever having to leave their homes.
These are just a few of the many outcomes that the Internet of Everything can make possible for the Middle East”, said Mohamed Bakry, Head of Technology, CISCO Kuwait and Bahrain.
Commenting on the Internet of Things World Forum (IoTWF) coming up on the 6-8 December 2015 in Dubai, Bakry said, “CISCO will be hosting this IoT exclusive industry event.
The IoTWF is widely recognized as the premier thought leadership forum in this rapidly growing industry, a must-attend event for key stakeholders and innovators in business, government, and academia who are driving adoption of the IoT worldwide.
The 2015 IoTWF will showcase dramatic transformations now gaining momentum across every global sector, a new world of opportunities made possible by the Internet of Things.”
Bakry concluded his statement by calling upon IT industry leaders, specialists, and professionals in Kuwait to attend EGOV3 and its accompanying exhibition.
We will showcase CISCO’s strategy, products, and services that can boost Kuwait’s E-Government program and Kuwait’s digital transformation.
Though Kuwait’s Information Network (KIN) is built with CISCO’s networking technologies, and we maintain a market share leadership, we believe that CISCO’s technology trends and IoT strategy can boost this program and Kuwait’s businesses into unprecedented frontiers. We are determined to maintain and enhance our leadership by being more committed to, and involved in Kuwait’s transformation into a knowledge-based society.”
