Middle East’s Largest Hospitality Technology Exhibition and Conference ‘HITEC Dubai 2019’ to Return in November

Dubai Tourism confirmed as Destination Partner for event

It has been announced that Dubai’s Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing (Dubai Tourism) will once again be the destination partner for ‘HITEC Dubai 2019’ taking place on 12 and 13 November. Building on last year’s success, the Middle East’s largest hospitality technology exhibition and conference that is co-produced by Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP®) and Naseba, will be held in Dubai at a twice larger venue – The Festival Arena by InterContinental Dubai Festival City. The annual business-to-business (B2B) exhibition is expected to welcome more than 2500 trade visitors and industry stakeholders over the two days giving Middle East buyers, currently worth over USD 75 billion, access to the world’s leading hospitality technology solution providers and experts.

Issam Kazim, CEO of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing, said: “We are pleased to support HITEC Dubai again as it continues to put the spotlight on technology in hospitality. As a city that strives to be at the forefront of innovation across all sectors, it is vital that we host events like this, focusing on technologies that could redefine and enhance the visitor journey and experience. Driven by the city’s leadership and guided by Dubai’s Tourism Vision 2025, we understand that a tourism industry that is able to provide smart, seamless and sustainable experiences for visitors is one primed for success. We look forward to continuing to work with HITEC Dubai and our stakeholders and partners to ensure this is delivered.”

Frank Wolfe CAE, CEO of HFTP, said: “We are glad that Dubai Tourism is endorsing HITEC Dubai for the third successive year. Last year we saw more than 200 percent increase in the attendance. As Dubai has firmly established itself as a global technology hub emerging as one of the fastest growing smart cities in the world and we are very excited to be part of its success. With the targeted growth in tourism and events such as Expo 2020 Dubai, the hospitality industry will inevitably continue to evolve and, therefore, will need more technology to be successful. HITEC Dubai will give an opportunity to regional hospitality buyers to learn about and introduce the latest technologies into their organisations.

HITEC Dubai’s Advisory Council Chairperson Laurent A. Voivenel, Senior Vice President, Operations and Development for the Middle East, Africa and India for Swiss-Belhotel International, said, “We are very excited about HITEC Dubai that will introduce new technologies, ideas and innovations in our industry designed to elevate the experience of guests as well as optimise business processes and operational efficiency. We are eager to see how advancements in areas of artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) and biometrics, etc can take us to a new level of enablement and transformation of customer experiences.”

According to recent industry reports, Dubai attracted $21.66 billion worth of foreign direct investment in high-end technology transfers in three years. This consequently earned the emirate the top rank globally in 2018 in the share of FDI in technology transfers like artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics.

FSS launches ‘FSS Voice Commerce’ at Seamless Middle East

The solution will enable customers to conduct a range of transactions round-the-clock using voice assistants 

11th April 2019, Dubai: FSS (Financial Software and Systems), a global payments technology company, has launched FSS Voice Commerce, a real-time voice banking platform that offers customers, meaningful, contextual and personalized banking interactions. Enabling banks to deepen customer engagement via conversation-led banking and deliver interactive service experiences to its customers, FSS Voice Commerce is set to take frictionless banking to the next level. The launch took place at the Seamless Middle East event that was hosted in Dubai this year.

FSS Voice Commerce uses machine-learning language processing techniques for analysis and synthesis of language and speech to deliver personalized service experiences. Furthermore, with ML capabilities embedded into the solution, consumer patterns will begin to emerge and result in insight-led banking and personalized customer experiences. At the backend, FSS Voice Commerce interfaces with any retail banking system to provide real-time information of accounts and balances, thereby enabling delivery of a unified and seamless omni-channel banking experience.

FSS Voice Commerce supports an extensive set of 200 transactions, enabling seamless 24/7 secure access to a broad range of financial banking services such as fund transfers, bill payments, card controls and non-financial transactions such as service requests, like ordering for a cheque book, new credit / debit card and loan request.

Instances of use-cases include:

  • Drive Sales: Based on the recommendation engine and by transaction analysis, banks can craft a personalized offer to customers. E.g. special interest rates for fixed deposits, eligibility for personal loans etc.
  • Customer Support: Instead of customers reaching out to support centres of the banks to raise the services request, the customer can just log in to Alexa to raise the service request which will land on the bank CRM system to facilitate the customer request.
  • Lead Generation: Generate customer interest towards respective banking products/offers/cash backs through an advertisement.

All financial transactions initiated are completely secure. FSS Voice Commerce supports out-of-band multi-factor authentication including one-time passcodes and biometrics, to maintain the integrity of the transaction ecosystem and prevent fraud.

Speaking on the launch, Khaled Moharem, Regional General Manager – Middle East, FSS said, “In an era of rapid technology adoption, the transition from chat-bots to voice assistants is quite visible today. With data-driven banking services on the rise, the key is to offer personalized services and delve deeper into the lives of the consumer and create a seamless experience. Today, consumers demand services that are unified, accurate, quick and secure and our aim is to accentuate the process of frictionless banking to the next level with FSS Voice Commerce.”

Mimecast Recognized as a Leader in Information Archiving by Top Research Firms

Radicati Group Positions Mimecast Highly for Innovation and Customers Success

Dubai, UAE, April 11, 2019: Mimecast (NASDAQ: MIME), a leading email and data security company, today announced it has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™:  Information Archiving Cloud Providers, Q1 2019 and a Top Player in the Radicati Information Archiving – Market Quadrant, 2019.

According to the Forrester Wave, “Mimecast excels in customer support, user experience, and email protection”, while the Radicati Group highlighted how Mimecast’s integration of Security, Archiving,
Protection and Continuity means archives are fully accessible even during email outages and archived data remains fully protected against email-borne threats.

Organizations trust the guidance of industry analysts to make informed decisions. The reports provide a detailed evaluation of information archiving cloud providers and show how each one measures up, helping enterprise architecture professionals select the best solution for their needs.

“IT and governance teams around the world are facing ever-growing demands to gain more insights from their data while maintaining compliance and looking for help to tackle this challenge,” said Shane Harris, senior director of product management at Mimecast. “Thousands of our customers have transformed their approach to Archiving from legacy systems saving them time, money and maximize their IT resources. We have our customers to thank for all their great feedback on our next-generation product innovation, exemplary customer support, and advanced expertise across archiving, security and business continuity.”

In order to build the most efficient, cost-optimized and risk-adverse solutions for our customers, feedback is essential. Mimecast recently surveyed customers asking them to share their experiences with Mimecast
Cloud Archive and services in their own words.

When asked how likely Ken Gowling, an IT professional at Datacom Systems (NSW) Pty Ltd, would be to recommend Mimecast Cloud Archive he said ”I’ve not seen any other product that is as good as Mimecast for
any environment.” While, Deepak Vyas, an IT Specialist at City and Guilds of London Institute, noted that Mimecast Cloud Archive is “Much more efficient than [its competitors] at e-discovery and simplified tools with granular modification.”  

On the heels of these new reports from Forrester and Radicati, Mimecast was also recently named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving for the fourth year in a row.

This industry recognition follows Mimecast’s recent acquisition of Simply Migrate, an innovative provider of archive data migration technology. This technology is engineered to further expand migration services for customers by helping to more effectively migrate data to the cloud – helping to reduce costs, safeguarding intellectual property, preserving institutional memory and accelerating E-discovery and archive compliance.
