leading system integrator in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to offer managed

enterprises operate more efficiently and open new business avenues. The

downside is it has also made enterprises more vulnerable to cyberattacks," said

Naresh Kothari, MD, and President, of Intertec Systems. "Strong partnerships

aid us to advance digitalisation in the GCC. By creating an integrated offering

with Tata Communications, we are adding value for our customers by bringing

local and global expertise. Together, we have the capability to address various
