Orders of the day

The transformation programs of the Middle East, one of the most technologically advanced regions, are receiving increasing attention from governments. Many countries, such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, have taken concrete steps by investing in cities to ensure that future generations ensure social and economic well-being. These countries are at the forefront of developments in smart cities and are leaders in innovation globally.

However, to see the future visions announced by these countries in the field of autonomous vehicles or artificial intelligence-based solutions or improved population experiences, the infrastructure and advanced platforms of the city should be more economical and more evolutionary. As well as high levels of security, openness and constant modernization.

To better understand how to accelerate the transformation, Miles said, "We need to go back a little bit, so it was not so long ago that the design of the traditional models of future software creation was in camera. closed world ", independent and isolated R & D departments have always been in charge of supervising products and projects of innovative solutions.

Although these processes have contributed to the provision of high quality products with a low level of risk, there remains a key result in this equation: the element of modern innovation.

However, public and private sector institutions should benefit from the best of both sectors. According to the Red Hat Enterprise Open Source Report, 69% of the companies surveyed believe that the strategic value of open source is "important" or "very important", which indicates the increasing demand for community innovation open software.

As organizations in the region seek to remain at the forefront of technological transformation to better serve their customers and their populations, and to better support government agendas, we need to ensure that the IT infrastructure is improved to make more intelligent production of these services. With open source software, it can do it smoothly, safely and efficiently.

"Whether it's a start-up, an SME or a government agency, open source software solutions offer highly innovative software that can help to improve." flexibility, security and world-clbad support, "Miles said. Open source software is the surest way to transfer the capabilities of smart institutions, cities and countries to a new level of excellence.
