Zain Group hosts technology conference in Istanbul

MANAMA, November 17, 2014

Leading telecommunications operator Zain Group is set to host its fourth annual technology conference in Istanbul, Turkey.

The three-day Zain Technology Conference (ZTC) opens today (November 17), representing its largest technology event to date and attracting more than 65 global technology partners, said a report in the Gulf Daily News (GDN), our sister publication.

The theme of this year's conference is "Enabling an Inspiring Digital Lifestyle Experience", and the event allows Zain a prime opportunity to assess and adapt its ambitious strategy and future technology direction in a transparent and collaborative manner.

Key topics to be discussed over the three days of interactive sessions include: network evolution, next generation networks, big data, telco cloud, customer experience management, innovation and future services, energy efficiency and site optimisation.

Additionally ZTC will also host an exhibition whereby Zain's technology partners will showcase their latest innovations, products and solutions.

Zain Group chief executive Scott Gegenheimer, chief technology officer Hisham Allam and strategy and business development officer Emre Gurkan will be amongst a host of management figures to make presentations at the event, detailing the company's strategy and future technology direction that is set to transform the group from a mobile consumer only company into a digital lifestyle integrated service provider serving both consumers and businesses with a focus on enterprise.

In addition, there will be keynote presentations made by three of Zain's main global technology providers - Ericsson, Huawei and Nokia Networks - as well as a presentation by globally renowned information technology research and advisory firm Gartner, that present latest trends in digital transformation with recommendations on how mobile operators need to adapt and be ready for the future.

"ZTC is growing bigger with every passing year, reflecting the development of the dynamic telecommunications industry, where today's innovations are tomorrow's differentiators," Gegenheimer said.

"Together with our partners, technology innovation and its implementation to enhance our customers' mobile experience lies at the heart of what Zain is doing."

Allam said: "We look forward to hearing from our technology partners and devising ways to utilise network solutions and applications in ever more efficient, productive, and successful ways.

"Zain is already a highly successful, efficient organisation, but in order to remain relevant and a leader, events such as the ZTC are a crucial part of our journey.

"Demand for mobility, broadband, big data and cloud are drivers for transformation in the modern ICT space, and Zain recognises that our customers' aspiring digital lifestyles are driving the demand for innovative apps, services and devices.” - TradeArabia News Service
