The Digital IT Revolution in Saudi Arabia
The Kingdom’s rapid pace in the IT space shows tremendous promise and has been influenced by Vision 2030 objectives.

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with its focus on Vision 2030, has contributed to its rapid pace of digital transformation with the economy diversifying into other sectors.
To sustain this pace of transformation, it is important for organisations to realise their level of digital maturity in their respective fields,” said Rajesh Ganesan, CEO of ManageEngine. “With our comprehensive suite of enterprise IT management and security solutions, which is evolving into a platform, we help organisations reach the level of digital maturity required for their progress.”
