Ooredoo and Cisco saw strong success on a conference about the power of managed cloud solutions in enabling Qatar’s digital small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
During the one-day conference, Qatar’s leading senior business executives learned about the business benefits of the cloud in driving new digital business models. 
The conference focused on how Cisco Meraki’s cloud-based Smart Wi-Fi, Smart Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (WAN), and Managed Local Area Networks (LAN), being offered to business customers through Ooredoo’s Qatar Data Centre, can enable business innovation, employee collaboration, and cybersecurity protection.
Ooredoo COO Yousuf Abdulla al-Kubaisi said, “Strong turnout at the conference with Cisco shows how Qatar’s organisations are viewing 2019 as the breakthrough year for leapfrogging digital and cloud business innovation. Cloud is the foundation for critical applications, enabling more efficient government services, and protecting critical nationwide infrastructure.”
During the conference, senior executives from Ooredoo and Cisco Meraki presented on how organisations can prioritise business use cases, success stories across industry verticals, and how to work with channel partners to develop the cloud skills needed for the future.
Cisco Qatar general manager Shane Heraty said, “Our conference with Ooredoo shows that Qatar’s organisations are using cloud for more efficient networking and business applications, supporting employee collaboration, and preventing cyber threats. By combining Cisco’s industry leadership and Ooredoo’s local expertise, we’re enabling Qatar’s digital future.”
The conference built on the strong ties between Ooredoo and Cisco. For example, Ooredoo Group recently achieved the highest level of Cisco partnership status, enhancing how it can provide the full stack of Cisco solutions to business customers.
Business customers can leverage the Ooredoo Advantage, making Ooredoo “Best for Business”, thanks to its breadth and depth of talent, best fixed and mobile networks, broadest portfolio of ICT services and solutions, and trusted partner for 60 years.
