How important is having an IT strategy for a business?

There is one constant in the IT business and that is change! So how would a business – regardless of size – get a grip on how to enact an effective IT strategy that would ensure business success?

To explore this and other issues, our club invited Abdulkarim Abu Jaber, Managing Director of Primus Bahrain to discuss this topic and share some of his experience to start the attendees on the right path of creating or strengthening their company’s ICT strategies. Some of the topics to be discussed include:

  • General IT industry Trends
  • IT in business and personal life
  • How IT can help organization grow and reduce cost
  • Adoption of new IT trends
  • How in the current economic downturn technology can drive innovation, as people and enterprises need new technologies and new products
  • How can IT and technologies provide companies with a competitive advantage
  • How running a business and overseeing IT is a tough task in the best of times. But in today’s environment—with consumer and business spending shrinking, budgets declining, the stock market sinking, and the pressure to adopt new tools and technologies growing—many organizations are finding themselves stretched to the limit.
  • Software as a Service
