The priority is not generating and distributing as many written information as possible anymore, but adapting solid research results to meet individual customer requirements - it could also be called 'Advisory in Context' or 'Research On Demand' . The GCC governments, private and financial sectors have made tremendous investments in the ICT arena. The time has come to rationalize those investments, optimize the usage and maximize the return and start the real transformation. Without a doubt the fast road to economic development and enhanced business efficiency can only be achieved by IT, as IT plays an "Enabler role".
