During the event, BTX Road Show Asia edition will be recognising solutions for transformation. This award ceremony will recognise the leading, exemplary, heroic efforts by vendors, channel partners, integrators, consultants to manage the challenges of the end user community through the lockdowns of the pandemic. This part of the information technology industry helped the end user community to successfully pivot their business models by using digital technologies and create a sustainable business through the pandemic and ahead, amongst others.
The pandemic of 2020 disrupted every industry and nation. Citizens, social fabrics, businesses, supply chains, trade, communication, value systems, workplaces, leisure, entertainment, decision making, almost everything conceivable had to adapt and change and survive. Information technology and business applications and strategic decision making around how to support everyday life through technology, has also had to adapt.
This has prompted the need to relook at business and the information technology organisation, the executives, operations, survival mantras, decision making, and finally outlook and forward-looking vision. The meaning of business continuity, disaster recovery, collaboration, virtual meetings, remote workforce, cloud, security, have overnight changed from esoteric into everyday work life meanings.
Earlier, BTX Road Show 2021 North Gulf edition was held on 28th June with the overlying theme – The Change.
