The GCC Software Congress 2012 highlighted how software drives efficiencies amid shrinking budgets and new technologies.
"A major concern for CIOs is how future-proof an ERP solution is and its ability to adapt to business and technology strategies," says Kanaran.
"ERP solutions are moving into the future amid iPads and Android tablets, with key areas being cloud computing, mobility, new industry solutions, business intelligence and Enterprise 2.0."
The event took place on 25 June at The Address Hotel, Marina, Dubai and brought together end-users and vendors to address the necessity of modifying current approaches. The audience comprised of a 100 senior directors, the 'who's - who' of regional decision makers.
"Businesses must look for a proven ERP vendor offering agility and a history of delivering new technologies and solutions such as service-oriented architecture (SOA), lean strategies, workflow and e-business that streamline and automate business processes," continued Kanaran.
"Cloud computing and mobility are key focus areas because of the benefits they bring to organisations looking to reduce the complexity of their IT systems and improve efficiencies in a challenging marketplace."
With small budgets and shrinking margins, CIOs are looking to drive efficiency, increase productivity and inch that step closer to, if not adding to the bottom line, at least keeping it stable. Software Congress 2012 was a platform for IT professionals to compare strategies and look at ways to integrate new realities into the overall IT function of their organization.
