As digital transformation and the cloud are gaining traction in the Middle East, demand for open-source solutions are intensifying, IBM executives said.
“Open source is key and the future to drive innovation due to the skills challenge posed by the emerging technologies. There are multiple people with different backgrounds coming in together to drive innovation in an open-source community,” Sabine Holl, vice-president for technical sales and CTO, IBM Middle East and Africa, told TechRadar Middle East on the sidelines of the IBM Think Summit.
