Progress announced a 10-year partnership with emt Distribution, and together, they have empowered hundreds of organizations across the region, spanning sectors such as government, finance, oil and gas, and education, to strengthen their security and IT infrastructure.
“emt Distribution’s deep understanding of the Middle East market and their customer-centric approach resonate with our own values, forming the bedrock of our successful partnership,” stated Phil Dunlop, Vice President of Channels & Alliances, Progress. “We eagerly anticipate further collaboration, empowering customers to enhance their infrastructure management, especially in an era of escalating threats where downtime translates to financial losses and reputational damage.”
According to a recent forecast by Gartner, the Middle East region is projected to experience a 15% annual growth in cybersecurity spending over the next few years. This surge is driven by factors like digital transformation, cloud adoption and regulatory efforts to combat evolving cyber threats. Organizations are increasingly investing in robust infrastructure management solutions, including network observability, load balancing and continuous compliance, to enhance application performance, availability and resilience while safeguarding against potential issues and cyber risks.
Through the partnership between Progress and emt Distribution, organizations gain access to products within the Progress Infrastructure Management and Digital Experience portfolios.
“Progress’ continued foray into technology in the Middle East and Africa and worldwide has inspired us to focus on yearly growth in the region. Their customer-first approach and stable technology advancement year-on-year has ensured a great partnership for mutual growth not just in product adoption but in partner management, brand awareness and regional custom offerings,” said Nandini Sapru, Vice President, emt Distribution. “We are excited to enter the second decade of our partnership where we expect many more chances to grow and build regional offerings within the infrastructure management and cyber security space.”
