RIYADH, KSA – Dynatrace (NYSE: DT), the leader in end-to-end observability and security, held a roundtable discussion today with journalists from reputable KSA media outlets to discuss the significance of ensuring IT resilience for Saudi organizations. As part of his inaugural visit to the Middle East, Rick McConnell, Dynatrace CEO, participated in the insightful conversation that was hosted in Riyadh's elegant Le Meridien hotel.

Since the launch of Saudi Vision 2030, the National Transformation Program has been a catalyst for Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation and economic diversification. Amidst the Kingdom’s profound digital progress, registrations for artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and cloud computing services increased by 53% and 43% year-over-year, respectively, in the second quarter of 2024. The country now aims for the digital economy to account for 19.2% of its GDP by 2025.

Saudi Arabia’s ongoing digital transformation happens in dynamic hybrid and multicloud environments. As organizations in both the private and public sectors accelerate their efforts to assist in the realization of Saudi Vision 2030 and capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead, their IT infrastructure becomes more complex and, inevitably, more prone to disruptions. Recent global IT outages and their widespread impacts emphasize the critical need for organizations to enhance their business resilience and minimize disruption risk.
