VAD Technologies is listed among the Top 25 IT Distributors in the Middle East

ITP.net is the Gulf's longest-running technology news site and has recently revealed the Top 25 IT Distributors in the Middle East. The selected IT Distributors that have made it into the List have shown dedication and leadership in supporting vendors, partners and customers in their digital and business transformation journeys

In today’s digitally driven era, organisations across the region are rapidly looking at transforming the way they operate and do business to be able to stay competitive and thrive.
A report by global research and analyst firm IDC revealed that spending on digital transformation is expected to grow at a compound annual growth of 15.5% from 2020 to 2023 to approximately $6.8 trillion.
For technology players to be able to successfully reach and support enterprises on their digital journeys, they need partners that are not only well-versed with the latest industry trends but also have the local expertise and are trusted by business leaders. Consequently, businesses that are on their path to transformation are constantly on the lookout for solutions and service providers that will provide them access to the latest technological innovations in the industry.
 
In this scenario, distributors play a crucial role in enabling the IT ecosystem. They are often the conduit between vendors and the rest of the market, providing services and competencies to channel players using those vendor products.
As the regional landscape continues to evolve, IT distributors today have moved beyond simply ‘pushing the box’ to become trusted advisors across multiple facets of business transformation.
