"As the UAE continues to witness fast growth, vendors face an even bigger
challenge to expand their businesses in the country. Increased investment in
channel and marketing, enhanced local and regional presence, and more focus on
channel and end-user education are the keys to achieving success in the
country." - Mohammed Al Noueiri, Senior Analyst, IDC Middle East and Africa
