CIOs to Meet at an Annual Summit in Dubai by Fleming Gulf Conferences

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, April 28, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Middle East businesses are now investing in technology and are considering the role of the CIO to ensure stability across all processes within the organisation from the back office to the front office. The challenge in today’s organisations is to create value for all businesses through technology. In 2012, will CIOs regard their role as just a business entity supporter or will they have to transition themselves into business leaders? The MENA CIO Summit has the answers.

Delegates will have the opportunity to learn how they can create value for businesses through information technology, to explore new and effective IT delivery models, and much more.

Ahmad Almulla, Vice President - Information Technology at Dubai Aluminium Company Limited who will be speaking at the event on "Creating highly effective IT frameworks" said, “This summit provides the delegates with both technology trends as well as experiences of users of technology. It is also an opportunity to learn from experts in I.T. fields and network with many CIOs who can provide guidance and advice with issues that delegates might be facing.”
