DS, a leading technology provider
in the UAE, has been appointed
as an Apple Authorised Systems
Integrator (AASI) in the region, while also
being an Apple Solution Expert (ASE) for the
last five years.
The AASI targets organisations across
all industries and the ASE is specifically
designed to cater to technology integration
needs in schools and universities. With
these authorisations, MDS will be able to
provide enterprise-standard solutions and
services including consultancy, strategy
and integration services for Apple devices
throughout the technology life cycle.
The AASI and ASE programmes are
designed for companies interested in
offering services to Apple customers,
whether they are businesses, educational
institutions or government organisations.
To become an AASI and ASE, MDS had to
meet the required criteria set by Apple such
as service expertise, a requisite number of
fully trained technical staff, Apple certified
system engineers, sales staff and dedicated
Apple business managers.
Commenting on the AASI and ASE status,
Roger Kakhia, EVP of MDS, said: “We are
pleased that MDS has been authorised to
extend services under both the AASI and
INTELLIGENT TECH CHANNELS
Issue 20
ASE programs by Apple. The main qualifying
criteria for these were service expertise
and attention to detail and MDS met these
with ease. Our team worked hard to ensure
that we have the highest level of expertise,
knowledge and the best technical skills to offer
our customers strategic advice, a complete
services portfolio and enterprise standard
support to complement the Apple brand.
“MDS has been an Apple Authorized
Reseller since 1988 to integrate the best,
most secure and most reliable technologies
seamlessly for our enterprise customers
including several educational institutions.
As an AASI and ASE, we look forward to
helping more customers transform the
way they work with increased productivity
through enhanced collaboration, improved
communication and better mobility services,
across enterprise and education sectors.”
MDS offers end-to-end technology
solutions and full systems integration
services to customers across the region.
The company has a strong portfolio of
customers in the enterprise segment
including government organisations and
different industry verticals including the
education space.
