More than three-quarters (76 percent) of UAE IT decision-makers agree that the public cloud is \u201cimportant\u201d for integrating future technology \u2013 such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, and the Internet of Things — to transform citizen and customer experiences, according to a new YouGov survey of 502 UAE-based IT decision-makers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UAE is rapidly digitally transforming with future technology, argues the global technology company SAP. Dubai\u2019s Internet of Things Strategy will enable smart lifestyles by 2021. The Emirates Blockchain Strategy plans to transform 50 percent of government transactions on to blockchain by 2021. The UAE Strategy for Artificial Intelligence aims to boost government performance and drive economic value in nine industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of their digital transformation, UAE organizations are investing in future technology. For example, MicroMarket Monitor says the UAE\u2019s Internet of Things market will top USD 35 billion by 2019. Artificial intelligence could boost the country\u2019s GDP by USD 96 billion by 2030, according to a recent report by PwC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Integrating all of these future technology solutions together on one digital platform can deliver a major business benefit, argues global technology company SAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOver three-quarters of UAE IT decision-makers agreeing on the importance of the public cloud in integrating future technology shows how artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things can drive economic growth, boost competitiveness, and transform daily lives,\u201d said Zakaria Haltout, Managing Director, SAP UAE. \u201cAlready we\u2019re working closely with UAE public sector organizations \u2013 such as Expo 2020 Dubai and the Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi \u2013 to deliver real-time and secure government services, predict resident needs, and support urban innovations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supporting the UAE\u2019s digital transformation, SAP is the first multi-national business applications company to go live and onboard customers on to a public cloud data center in the UAE. This public cloud data center is the foundation of SAP\u2019s ongoing 5-year USD 200 million investment plan for the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe UAE has seen a wide range of individual pilot projects and proofs of concept for artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things,\u201d added Zakaria Haltout. \u201cThe next step will move beyond technology for technology\u2019s sake and identify how these future technology solutions can meet business needs \u2013 reducing traffic, enabling real-time utilities, and having secure digital real estate contracts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Expo 2020 Dubai, SAP is the Innovative Enterprise Software Partner, with the SAP S\/4HANA digital core as the foundation for data-driven insights, from visitor preferences to sustainability, for an expected 25 million visits. During the Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi, Real-time cloud-based analytics delivered full visibility and predictive decision-making to optimize services for 7,000+ athletes from 195 nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
