The MEA Channel: Rapid Change and High Stakes
Philippe Jarre assesses the current MEA IT channel as being in a significant state of transformation, fueled by digital acceleration, regional investment priorities, and geopolitical dynamics. The region remains one of the fastest-growing markets globally for IT, with strong momentum driven by spending in sectors like government, energy, and banking.
A key shift Jarre highlights is the evolution of distributors into “ecosystem orchestrators,” integrating training academies, cloud platforms, and marketplaces. However, the market faces a significant challenge: a shortage of skilled talent and advanced capabilities in cloud, Al, and cybersecurity. Jarre notes that Mindware is tackling this head-on through the Mindware Academy, nurturing specialized capabilities across the regional ecosystem.
The Opportunity: Industry-Specific Al Value
For partners, Jarre identifies the single biggest challenge as the need to move beyond transactional reselling and acquire the competencies to become solution providers.
The most significant untapped opportunity, according to Jarre, lies in helping customers translate digital transformation into industry-specific business value, especially through Al, data, and cloud-powered services. Partners who invest in deep industry knowledge in areas like healthcare, finance, or the public sector, and build reusable solution frameworks, are best positioned to achieve higher margins and forge deeper customer relationships.
