How does your company help customers with their digital transformation initiatives in the light of the current digital transformation/ hybrid workplace trend?
The traditional responsibilities of IT distributors are changing rapidly. Digital transformation is becoming a key driver of growth in the industry. Businesses are increasingly turning to digital technologies to streamline operations, improve customer experience, and gain a competitive advantage. As a result, IT distributors will need to offer a wide range of digital solutions to help their customers navigate this transformation. Our emphasis must shift towards supporting the technology that underpins this transformation: cloud computing, security, IOT and data analytics. Mindware is investing heavily in these areas and are constantly upskilling to stay as market leaders and help our partners to succeed in the ever-changing technology landscape.
With the recent economic changes and challenges, as well as the addition of too many dynamics to the global trading and commerce industry, we truly believe that a value added distributor (VAD) like Mindware plays a pivotal role in supporting and facilitating the digital transformation across geographies in general and emerging countries in specific.

We are fortunate to have exceptional support from our vendors, with over 20 vendors showcasing their latest products and solutions at our booth. Each year, we strive to introduce something captivating, and this year will be no different.
