The IT distribution landscape in the Middle East is undergoing a profound transformation, fueled by rapid digitalisation, artificial intelligence (AI), and shifting market expectations. Once defined by bulk hardware shipments and reactive, push-based sales tactics, the relationship between vendors and distributors is evolving. Today, distribution hubs are evolving into intelligent ecosystems that prioritise data-driven decisions, partner enablement, and proactive market engagement. In this new era, success is measured not by transaction volume but by the speed, clarity, and strategic value of data.
