Tahawultech.com and CNME Future Enterprise Awards 2019 celebrated and recognised accomplishments in the regional IT landscape.
The Future Enterprise Awards 2019, which took place at Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai on October 6, saw hundreds of IT leaders coming together to celebrate and recognise individuals and organisations who are leaving a mark in the Middle East’s digital sector.
The awards honoured 38 organisations and IT leaders, and included awards for CIO of the Year, Innovation Vendor of the Year and Best Technology Implementation in end-user sectors such as government and retail.
Companies tend to become more innovative during tough times; they become more agile and flexible to stay ahead of the game and survive. And that makes the task of IT departments even more daunting – they need to help their businesses to become more innovative and help launch new services to the market ahead of competition.
The winners had to demonstrate not only that they were able to create new value using technology, but also that they did so in uncommon, innovative ways. Be it pioneering a new technology, applying an existing technology to a new purpose, or just setting the bar high.
The awards also recognised projects that, due to their scope and impact, are helping their organisations to a more profitable future.
Tahawultech.com and CNME congratulate this year’s winners and applaud them for paving the way to the future of the IT industry in the region.
