PROMOTIONAL FEATURE
How can CIOs distinguish the types of technologies that can help them succeed in their digital evolution, and does a culture
of hype around digitalisation increase their risk of failure?

to customers. “IT decision makers need to look at best practices in the market, check KPIs, and consider in-volving young minds into the decision and implementation process, because they will contribute with an angle and a vision which companies today are all too often missing,” he says.
Mir also believes that while the GCC has undoubted poten-
tial to make its society more technology-oriented, it still has
work to do in its bid to become a digitalised
society. “Middle East organisations are still trying
to replicate the success of countries in other markets in terms of digital transforma-tion efforts,” he says. “There’s definitely been some prog-ress, but if you take banks
Digital transformation
The key barometer for what should and shouldn’t be digitalised is ROI; is the investment worth it?
In the face of vast industry hype, pressure from company leaders and constrained budgets, it can be easy for CIOs to lose sight
of what their digital transformation initiatives are trying to achieve. With the entire technology industry now obsessed with this concept, IT leaders have been thrust into the spotlight to manage challenges that were often alien to them.
Khurram Mir, chief marketing officer, Kualitatem, believes that it is too easy to get carried away with technologies that may not ac-tually add genuine value to users or the company.
“They key to success in the digital journey is not think about technology, but the business,” he says. “A lot of talk around digitalisation in 2017 re-volves around hype or people showing off. A better approach is to think about problems you are facing, and how the they could be solved by technology. In my opinion, digital transformation progress is hindered by hype.”
Trriple CEO Paolo Gagliardi, meanwhile, believes it is important to not only measure results, but also to enlist those who can think outside the box when deciding on the technologies that will appeal

The wearable movementFEATURE
According to the latest research from Strategy Analytics, global wearable technology shipments reached 22 million units in the first quarter of 2017.
With this in mind, how can we expect their increasing presence to affect the enterprise? When can we expect them to become common workplace tools?
24 JULY 2017 www.tahawultech.com
into a business environment, Timothy Ricketts, ecosystem leader, IBM Wat-son Internet of Things MEA, believes that this surveillance capability can be applied in the workplace. “Wearables as a business strategy is evolving, and companies are looking at ways they can address specific outcomes through their use,” he says. “One im-portant use case is the ability to locate workers in hazardous environments, providing benefits to the health and safety of employees. Vital signs can be measured, and pro-active steps can be taken to prevent incidents from occurring, resulting in improved worker experience and productivity, while reducing the cost of incidents.”
He adds that factories can also establish adherence to shift and break times using wearable technol-ogy. “What’s more, hazard alerts can be sent when an employee is in close proximity to a danger on the shop floor, or an alert can be sent to evacuate an area or the entire facil-ity,” he says.
Aside from surveillance use cases, organisations looking to invest in
wearable technology should be mind-ful of the fact that, in some ways, it represents a shift from the bring your own device trend. Wearables typically collect personal information from the user, meaning employees may be reluctant to connect them to their corporate environment. However, Ricketts believes that if organisations are prepared to provide wearables for work-related purposes, the high uptake and acceptance of them in a consumer environment won’t be lim-ited to that realm alone. “While I don’t think the high level of personal uptake makes wearables any more necessary in a business environment, it does lower the resistance to adoption in a business situation, because people are so used to being exposed to this technology outside of work,” he says.
The retail industry is also fore-cast to be heavily influenced by the uptake of wearables, as technology continues to revolutionise innovative ways in which traders can engage and interact with their consumers. “Soon, hands-free shopping will be a real-ity where the entire retail experience
will take place on a wearable device,” says Dirk Raemdonck, marketing and retail development manager, E-City. “The use of line-of-sight wearables will enable retailers to offer consumers an enhanced and virtual in-store experi-ence. In addition, it will streamline communications among employees, and bring a change in store layout.”
This all-inclusive shopping experi-ence via a wearable device is also set to feature a single mobile wallet. Un-der the Smart Dubai initiative, empay – in collaboration with Cardtek – will provide a payment infrastructure that allows consumers in the UAE to make retail payments, initiate money trans-fers, and pay for government utilities, telecommunications, and school fees from a mobile wallet, using both mobile devices and ‘active’ Bluetooth-enabled wearables.
“The digital scene in the retail sector is constantly evolving, and re-tailers must adopt new and innovative ways to engage with consumers and stay competitive,” says Raemdonck. “These technological developments will help businesses strengthen their consumer relationships by delivering highly immersive shopping experi-ences.”
In addition, recent figures compiled by IDC have shown that the Middle East and Africa (MEA) wearables market continued its strong growth trajectory into the first quarter of 2017 - up 30.2 percent year on year. The research firm said it expects the MEA wearables market to grow 20.9 percent in 2017 to reach a total of 2.9 million units, with
