From October 14 to 18, during the highly anticipated GITEX GLOBAL 2024, Huawei hosted a rich agenda of summits, thematic forums, and round-table meetings, collaborating with customers and partners to accelerate industry Data-AI transformation. As a partner of Huawei going global together for success, iSoftStone actively participated in various events at the exhibition, signing a strategic cooperation memorandum with Huawei for Saudi Arabia and being honored as an "Outstanding Collaboration Partner".

iSoftStone and Huawei jointly signed a strategic cooperation memorandum for Saudi Arabia

As the largest economy in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia presents significant market potential for advancing economic diversification and digital transformation in various industries amid the waves of digitization and intelligence. Currently, iSoftStone has established the iSoftStone Information Technology Company in Saudi Arabia to provide local customers with high-quality and convenient services.

To better focus on the market and enhance regional collaboration, iSoftStone and Huawei have signed a strategic cooperation memorandum for Saudi Arabia. The two parties will continue to strengthen cooperation and communication, develop differentiated market expansion models, explore local customer needs, and jointly empower the Data-AI transformation of local industries. Looking ahead, iSoftStone plans to replicate this model in other regional markets and grow alongside Huawei Cloud overseas.

At the "Go Together, Grow Together" partner forum for the Middle East and Central Asia, Huawei Cloud announced partner policies and incentive programs tailored for the Middle East and Central Asia markets, recognizing Outstanding Partners who contribute to mutual success in overseas markets. With outstanding performance in market sales, technology, and service capabilities, iSoftStone was awarded the title of "Outstanding Collaboration Partner". This recognition also affirms the potential for collaboration between the two parties in overseas markets.

During the event, Zhang Hai, General Manager of Overseas Sales for the Huawei Cloud Intelligent Sales Department at iSoftStone, delivered a keynote speech titled "iSoftStone Collaborates with Huawei Cloud to Build a Professional Service Capability System". He highlighted that, based on long-term capability development and deep collaboration with Huawei Cloud, iSoftStone has achieved certifications in various areas, including HCS infrastructure planning and implementation, digital transformation consulting, cloud-native application modernization, solution integration implementation, big data services, cloud migration planning and implementation services, as well as data management and analysis services. Together, they have also jointly launched multiple industry solutions. Currently, iSoftStone has successfully provided cloud migration support for over 100 leading enterprises, establishing itself as a typical capability-driven partner within the Huawei Cloud ecosystem. Looking ahead, iSoftStone plans to increase investments to jointly build an overseas marketing team with Huawei Cloud, continuously enhancing overseas technical service capabilities and solution capabilities. This will involve comprehensive collaboration with Huawei Cloud in areas such as brand value, technical support, channel expansion, and ecological cooperation, advancing to a new stage of international development.

During this GITEX GLOBAL exhibition, iSoftStone, in collaboration with Huawei Cloud and partners, launched five major industry solutions and jointly initiated the "Middle East and Central Asia Hybrid Cloud Pioneer Program". They were also invited to participate in various events, including the Huawei Cloud Summit UAE 2024, the Huawei Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure Forum for the Middle East, discussions in the UAE, talks in Saudi Arabia, and a seminar in Central Asia. This not only demonstrates the strong alignment of both parties in overseas strategic actions but also showcases the dynamic strength of Chinese enterprises in driving the global Data-AI economy.

"The Data-AI development should not be a feast for the few, but a benefit for all humanity." iSoftStone will continue to delve into the wave of global Data-AI transformation, collaborating with Huawei and partners to create value for global clients and infuse new vitality into the Data-AI earth.
