Combining local capabilities and strength in digital transformation, two UAE-based technology companies have announced a strategic partnership to enhance and extend critical digital services in the region. Injazat, the UAE’s home-grown technology champion, and Gulf Business Machines (GBM), a leading end-to-end digital solutions power brand in the Middle East, joined forces in an official signing ceremony.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by Ussama Dahabiyeh, Chief Executive Officer of Injazat, and Miguel Khouri, the General Manager of GBM Abu Dhabi allowing both parties to collaborate on exploring and generating potential business opportunities across different domains including Cloud, Cybersecurity, Data Centre, SOC and NOC Services, Hybrid IT Management, Automation, and AI.
Under the agreement, both companies will leverage their joint capabilities, regional scale, and skilled teams to enable diverse and sustainable digital solutions specifically in the BFSI, healthcare, government, and energy sectors. With technology advancing every day, the partnership will focus on the increasing need for both government entities and businesses to enhance the scope and quality of digital services to stay abreast and relevant with new technologies. Through the MoU, Injazat and GBM customers will benefit from improved efficiency of service provision, using new digital delivery models, and customising solutions using data analytics and insights.
