Also strong are mobile phone sales. In
the UAE, this is a direct result of short replacement cycles,
multiple mobile ownership and service penetration of up to 135 per
cent. On a global level, this sector of the market also grew 22.5
per cent last year to realise sales of more than one billion phones.
Analysts have found that the level of infection, spam email and
malicious computer use has grown to become a management and
technological burden that negatively impacts economic development.
As a result, the IDC estimates the region will spend $9.3 billion on
IT security by 2009. It predicts the top investors will be the UAE,
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain. The region's IT industry
has an increased need for IT security and a growing interest in the
possibility of hosting outsourced IT services within the GCC area.
Countries like the UAE - characterized by high technology deployment
and sustainable economic growth - has both the need for such an
expanded layer of professional IT managers, and the potential to
rapidly develop it, according to new study by leading researchers
from The British University in Dubai (BUiD). Many companies are
increasingly dependent upon technology professionals with strong
project management competencies to ensure the successful achievement
of business objectives, said the study. Academic staff from BUiD's
Institute of Informatics have spent the last year building up a body
of research and teaching experience which recognizes the need for IT
managers in the region. Specifically, there is growing demand for
locally trained leaders in the knowledge economy.
In the past, Yellowstone Corporation has achieved success in procuring several government sub-contracts. In 1998, Yellowstone Corporation acquired the sole rights to provide diagnostic and therapeutic medical equipment to all the major hospitals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In 2000, Yellowstone Corporation was granted the exclusive rights to provide high-grade fire-retardant materials used in clothing to the regions firefighters, as well as to the Saudi Ministry of Hajj.
All this suggests that the GCC countries are investing huge amounts in gearing up their IT infrastructure in order to be at the forefront of the technology evolution cycle. IDC predicts that IT spend across the region will rise from the current $30 billion to $45 billion by 2010.
A 30 per cent rise in participants at this year's GITEX event
supports their prediction. GITEX Technology Week, which will run
from September 8 to 12 in Dubai, has gotten off to a good start.
Already sold out, the event will have three sections: GITEX Business
Solutions, GULFCOMMS and Consumer Electronics. Last year, the UAE
alone had a 65 per cent increase in notebook shipments, while the
Gulf region experienced a 61 per cent rise and moved 1.25 million
units. Retailers predict the market for notebooks to grow by 35 per
cent this year.
