The launch event went beyond the traditional format, with inspiring keynote addresses, forward-looking panel discussions, and networking sessions that enabled stakeholders to explore Mindware's expanded portfolio and strategic roadmap. In line with its partner-first strategy, Mindware has rolled out technical and sales enablement programs, and is working with vendors to deliver certification courses tailored to local market needs.
With new partnerships already signed with regional ICT providers, Mindware is set to announce several new vendor collaborations in the coming weeks further expanding its portfolio in cloud, cybersecurity, networking, and enterprise technologies.
