IBM

Overview
IBM works to bring a new level of intelligence to the way the world works – how every person, business, organization, government, natural and man-made system interacts. Each interaction represents a chance to do something better, more efficiently, and more productively. But more than that, as the systems of the planet become smarter; IBM is working to open up meaningful new possibilities for progress.

The globally integrated enterprise needs something more powerful. Today's information management tools offer situational awareness and predictive abilities. This "new intelligence" combines human cognition with computational power, shifting the agenda from "sense and respond" to situational awareness and something very much like prediction.

New intelligence gives you more than a window into your current operations. It provides a likely view of what is just around the corner and even further down the road. Analytics and reporting tools slice and dice data, crystallizing trends, patterns and anomalies that yield invaluable business insights to help you drive smarter decision-making.

A dynamic infrastructure in this digitally-connected world must help support the convergence of business and IT needs and assets. IBM’s approach allows organizations to be better positioned to adopt integrated new technologies, like Web 2.0 and cloud computing, to deliver dynamic and seamless access to IT services and resources, and to cohesively integrate and manage the growing volume of intelligent, digital devices and “smart” business assets, with over 385,000 professionals serving customers worldwide.

IBM MENA

The company also has its own technology Development Centre which is based in Cairo, Egypt with more than 500 staff working out of the centre.
