Dubai, 9 February 2012 - Leading systems integrator and IT Solutions provider ITQAN Al-Bawardi Computers participated in this year's Middle East CIO 50 Awards as a Sponsor, following the conclusion of another prosperous year, working hand in hand with some of the UAE's top CIOs and their respective organizations.

The Middle East CIO 50 Awards celebrated the top 50 organisations (and the people within them) that are using information technology in innovative ways to deliver business value, whether by creating competitive advantage, optimising business processes, enabling growth or improving relationships with customers.

"We are looking forward to celebrating the successes of many of our partners and clients in the field of IT," stated Feras Al-Jabi, ITQAN's General Manager, "It has been indeed a year of achievements for both ITQAN and all the organizations with whom we have collaborated on various projects".

The award ceremony honoured the top level IT executives and CIO on taking risks on emerging technologies, or the deployment of the tried and true in a new way. Also being recognized are those who were focused on building better business processes, fostering closer collaboration, discovering new ways to get more from existing customers, pursuing new markets, saving money, or making more of it.

Amongst the winners were those who collaborated with ITQAN to implement key projects last year, including: Mr. Khaled Lootah of the Ministry of Health, for heading a data refurbishment project for the Ministry, Mr. Ali Al Ali of the Health Authority - Abu Dhabi for overseeing the automation of all business processes within the Authority, and Dr. Richard A. Rhodes of Mafraq Hospital for ensuring the swift networking implementation to improve communication in the hospital, through a newly developed IT platform.

"ITQAN's undeniable mark in the UAE IT industry over the past 27 years has developed and maintained relationships with key partners and clients, and our participation in this event shows our continued support and encouragement for individuals and group innovation in IT," added Rola Al Satari, Accreditation, Quality & Communications Manager at ITQAN.
