Mohammed Amin, Senior Vice President TEEAM Region at EMC said, “The combined forces of cloud, social, mobile and big data have led to the emergence of what we like to call the ‘Information Generation’. These digital citizens are always connected and engaged online, and have the world’s information at their fingertips through their smartphones and other internet enabled devices. These customers expect real time response, faster, more efficient services; their new way of living has completely re-set our expectations and put new demands on businesses. This necessitates the need for enterprises to revisit their IT investments and strategies to meet this massive shift in expectations, adapt and succeed in the future.”
