Why invest in Cloud Computing in Qatar?
- 01
While 76% of businesses are aware of cloud computing, the adoption is low at only 3%. This represents a significant opportunity to capture a large share of the market, as demand for cloud services will grow sharply over the next 2 to 4 years.
- 02
There are few cloud service providers in Qatar, leaving ample room for new entrants.
- 03
The Tasmu Smart Qatar program will rely heavily on harnessing cloud computing technology to translate the creative solutions devised by the program into reality. Out of the 107 Tasmu use cases, 81 use cases will require cloud technology for their implementation, which is to be completed by 2022.
