GBM celebrates 25 years of success in GCC

MANAMA, June 8, 2015

Gulf Business Machines (GBM), a leading provider of IT solutions in the region, celebrated its 25 years of success in Bahrain and across the region, with a gala event in Manama.

Founded in 1990, GBM is the sole distributor for IBM – excluding selected IBM products and services – throughout the GCC, except for Saudi Arabia. GBM’s momentum was further enhanced in 1999, when the team secured the Cisco portfolio.

Today GBM holds the highest level of recognition in the region from Cisco, Gold Partner status, in addition to the Cisco Borderless Network Architecture Specialized Learning Partner status, said Bahrain country manager Abdulla Ishaq and CEO Philippe Jarre who kicked off the celebrations yesterday night at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay.

“GBM works with a number of high-profile customers in Bahrain, both in the public and private sectors,” remarked Ishaq in the presence of the company's cutsomers, staff and partners.  

“Increasingly we are seeing the IT industry evolve at a rapid pace here in Bahrain, and GBM has developed ambitious plans to stay ahead of the trend and provide our customers in Bahrain with access to the latest solutions to help them to grow their own businesses, coupled with the added value and expertise of our on-the-ground team of experts,” he added.

Addressing the gathering, Jarre said: "Bahrain is the original home of GBM in the region, and has continued to be an important market for the company."

GBM, he stated, was moving into a new era and the time was ripe for a brand revamp.

"2015 signals the 25th year of GBM in Bahrain and across the region, and we wanted to mark the occasion with a change. Not in the levels of our award winning customer service and certainly not in the exceptional value we provide to our customers," remarked Jarre.

"Rather we wanted to change our brand to something that remains recognisable but with a distinct difference that highlights to our customers, and to the wider industry, that GBM is moving into a new era and will be setting a new pace for IT services here in the capital and across the region," he added.

GBM, which is ISO-9001 certified since 1999, has offices in the UAE (Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah), Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain.-TradeArabia News Service
