Lenovo confirms first vertical industry CIO conference

Taking place on November 19th & 20th at the Fairmont Dubai hotel, the First Lenovo Middle East CIO Conference will reveal a new and unique approach to different vertical sectors on how to choose the technology best-suited to their business.

"Each industry sector has unique technology requirements that drive the business. These are defined by a number of factors including the nature of the business, the size of the organisation and applications in place," said Imtiaz Ghani, general manager, Lenovo, Middle East, Egypt & Pakistan. "Lenovo delivers the best engineered PCs, uniquely capable of serving specific business needs. Embracing a culture of performance, Lenovo is committed to innovation beyond the machine, innovation that can build a business and become an asset to the organisation."

The Lenovo Middle East CIO Conference will take place on Sunday, 19th November with a keynote by Bill Amelio, Lenovo's CEO. This will be followed by sessions relevant to key vertical industries such as finance, education, aviation, oil & gas, telecommunication and healthcare. Each session will tackle the trends within each industry, globally and within the region.

Chief information officers from around the region will also be invited to discover how they can use the capabilities of the ThinkVantage technologies to add real value to their business.

"ThinkVantage Technologies help our customers become more competitive and on demand by delivering industry-leading capabilities that improve productivity and reduce cost. These tools help make ThinkPad/ThinkCentre personal computers less dependent on IT staff or user intervention for basic tasks like deployment, backup, security and more — freeing both users and IT staff to focus on business success," Ghani added.
