Mohamed Abulhouf, Senior Director, Emerging Markets for Nutanix said “Digital transformation will be key enabler of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. However, we find that a lot of enterprises in the Kingdom grapple with IT complexity – especially when it pertains to the Cloud, as a result of multiple vendors, interoperability challenges between technologies and stringent regulations. With the intention of supporting the Government’s efforts to accelerate digital transformation, our focus at LEAP is to educate organizations on how they can simplify cloud infrastructures and allow for a consistent IT operating model, which is critical for success.

We are bringing simplicity to the B2B technology stack, and this is at the heart of the design of our solutions. We offer unparalleled freedom of choice to customers and help organizations simplify cloud complexity with an open, software-defined hybrid multi-cloud platform so that they can focus on business outcomes and new innovations.”

Nada Khan, Head of Marketing, Emerging Markets at Nutanix said “We are proud to participate again at LEAP for the second consecutive year – an event designed to inspire and educate. It brings together top IT professionals from large multinational organizations, government stakeholders and policymakers – essentially everyone attending is either shaping the IT landscape, contributing to it, or successfully thriving in it. It is a brilliant platform to promote our brand. More importantly, it’s a way to reconnect with our customers and partners at scale.”

One of Nutanix’s key focus areas at LEAP is education. The company is committed to ensuring that its customers and partners receive the latest education and certifications to allow them to enhance their knowledge and value and better themselves in their roles. To this end, company executives will be discussing Nutanix University which features programs that are a mix of online, in-person, and self-paced learning. The company will also be promoting the Nutanix User Group, which is a dedicated technical community for its Saudi IT champions. To help develop IT skills in the country, Nutanix is working with public academies, to build educational services for Saudi youth to train them with technical skills that are needed for the future.
