EMC establishes new operations in Kuwait
KUWAIT: EMC Corporation, a global leader in enabling businesses and service providers to transform their operations and deliver IT as a service, announced that it is strengthening its commitment to current and prospective customers and channel partners in the Middle East region by opening an office in Kuwait. From the new office, EMC will extend its expertise to organizations across various industries in the Kuwaiti market to help them reduce their operational costs, increase efficiency, reduce risks, and increase their competitive advantage.
Ahmed Helmy, who has been with EMC for seven years, will manage operations at the Kuwait office. Prior to this appointment, Ahmed was EMC’s Telecom District Manager for the North Gulf and Levant Area. In this role he was responsible for relationships with two major telecom operators in the Gulf region.
Mohammed Amin, Senior Vice President and Regional Manager, Turkey, Eastern Europe, Africa and Middle East at EMC said “Kuwait represents a fast developing Middle East market where both the government and private organizations are investing in gamechanging technologies such as virtualization and cloud computingto boost operational efficiency. As these organizations become more competitive, they continue to focus on more innovative ways to offer their customers an enhanced experience while optimizing costs. EMC is committed to helping local organizations meet their business objectives.” Kuwait Times asked Amin why they chose Kuwait to open new offices and he said that it was a necessity, not an option to open the office as their work is growing. “We have to be close to our customer”.
Habib Mahakian, EMC Regional General Manager for the Gulf and Pakistan said “Our presence in Kuwait brings us closer to local customers and channel partners thereby giving us an opportunity to better understand their needs and requirements. We are here to help organizations lead their IT and business transformation and help them further develop their skill set through knowledge transfer, technology consultancy, and support.”
