Vensai Technologies announces its expansion into the Middle East with the opening of its first sales office in the United Arab Emirates, along with plans to further expand into Saudi Arabia later this year. “The Middle East is a significant emerging market for technology services and an important market for our business,” stated Jeff Hood, Senior VP of Global Services at Vensai Technologies. “Many of our current customers also have operations in that region of the world, and Vensai is fully committed to expanding our sales and delivery capability throughout the Middle East.” As IT spending in the region recovers from the effects of the Arab Spring of 2011, analysts such as IDC expect growth of 12% or more in some of the larger markets such as the UAE. IDC's January 2012 report specifically points out the serious attention now directed to cloud computing projects, which have been hampered by a shortage of requisite technical skills in the region. “Vensai is well-positioned to service the growing need for cloud computing and other specialized IT projects from our global delivery centers in India,” said Jeff Hood. “We're focused on expanding our consulting business, primarily focused in the Healthcare and Logistics markets, throughout the Middle East.”
