Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Lenovo, a Fortune Global 500 company and global technology leader in driving Intelligent Transformation, and EMITAC Enterprise Solutions (EES), a regional leader in delivering IT infrastructure services and solutions, today announced a strategic partnership for the UAE market.
As a part of this partnership, EES has been officially been appointed as a tier-one partner and will leverage Lenovo’s industry-leading data centre portfolio to drive intelligent transformation through software defined solutions for enterprise customers in the UAE. Ranked #1 in customer satisfaction and x86 reliability, Lenovo’s data centre portfolio spans servers, storage, converged and hyperconverged, networking, hyperscale, software and services. This includes its ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile products.
According to industry analyst IDC, annual spending on digital transformation initiatives in the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa (META) region is predicted to surpass $38 billion by 2021*, accelerated by the large-scale adoption of third-platform technologies such as cloud, big data analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics, Virtual Reality, etc. In line with this, Lenovo is poised to usher in the era of ‘intelligent transformation’ through its smart devices and infrastructure that create the best user experience for customers in the UAE and the wider META region.

With the appointment of EES as our tier-one partner in the UAE, we are confident that we’ll be able to better serve our invaluable customers.”
