Senior executives from Dell EMC — part of Dell Technologies, the newly combined entity of Dell and EMC — are in the Kingdom this week to meet with customers and channel partners and discuss their roadmaps to transform the country’s business and economic landscapes. 
According to 2016 research by analysts BMI, total technology spending in Saudi Arabia is set to grow at a CAGR of 1.8 percent to reach SR42.8 billion in 2019.
Dell EMC highlighted how the newly-combined company is built to help customers thrive in the digital era and resolve the Kingdom’s most pressing business challenges, including cloud, converged infrastructure, security, and mobility in the public, financial services, energy, education, and SME sectors. 
Aongus Hegarty, president of the EMEA region at Dell EMC, said: “This region, and Saudi Arabia specifically, has the opportunity to make a quantum leap in using technology solutions to resolve pressing business issues — the lack of outdated infrastructure combined with the public and private sectors’ focus on creating employment opportunities and forging a digital transformation in education, financial services, government and other key sectors providing tremendous opportunity for collaborative problem-solving with Dell Technologies.”
Hegarty told Arab News that Dell will announce a new program on Nov. 20 that will play a key role toward new business opportunities and Vision 2030.

“As Saudi Arabia prepares to stand at the forefront of emerging markets powered on Vision 2030, there is a growing interest to facilitate innovation across every aspect of industry and human life,” commented Mohammed Talaat, EMC Corporation’s VP for Saudi Arabia Turkey, Egypt and Libya. 
Dell EMC brings together the expertise of operating in 180 countries with a 140,000-strong team, serving 98 percent of Fortune 500. 
“We are thus well positioned to enable Saudi customers to embrace the digital future in alignment with the country’s aspirations,” commented Driss el Ougmani,‎ VP, MEA at Dell.
