Says Mohamed Abdel Gawad , President at VAS Integrated Solutions Integrated Solutions , “ Growing cloud complexity causes organisations to hit a wall .”
With only 20 % of large organisations in Egypt having a mature DevSecOps culture , the opportunities for VAS channel partners are tremendous . Channel partners need to be aware that digitisation has initiated a dynamic shift within the market , and it is constantly expanding with new customer stakeholders .
They need to target these new personas and entities . One of the key ingredients to achieve this is through building a strong knowledge and skills base , because customers need trusted advisors to guide them into making the right decision in terms of technology and investment .
Amid a volatile socioeconomic environment marked by rising costs and weakened consumer confidence in Egypt , IT leaders experience growing pressure to deliver more with less in order to keep their organisations ahead of the competition . As a result , organisations are increasingly adopting DevSecOps practices to drive faster innovation without amplifying security risk .
