RIYADH — Mobily has recently concluded the fifth edition of “Mobily CIO Summit” under the title "A New Era in Business Efficiency" in Istanbul City, with a remarkable presence of senior officials and information technology specialists in both public and private sectors.
The event resulted in a range of important recommendations for the telecommunications and information technology sector, mainly focusing on the machine to machine technology (M2M), which allows smart devices to connect to each other in order to transfer data faster and more accurately and without any human intervention. This technology includes linking the hardware, software and the middleware applications that deliver information directly to the analysis centers; thereby improving the efficiency, quality and achieving critical tasks with the lowest cost by reducing a lot of time and effort.
Likewise, reports indicate that total revenues of device to device technology (M2M) will cross $60 billion worldwide by the end of this year, and the major impact of this technology is in the energy and utilities sectors.
During the conference, several new technologies related to the telecommunications and information technology sector were displayed, for example, the Cloud Computing, information security solutions and smart cities solutions, which are expected to find a huge demand in the upcoming era. That prompts Mobily to focus on these technologies as among the most important solutions for the business sector. Consequently, Mobily has entered into the strategic partnerships with leading global suppliers of these technologies in order to launch a private service platform to enhance the level of customer experience.
