Established in 2018, the Great Minds Group has developed virtual services that offer businesses creative solutions to assist with decision making that complies with health and safety, as well as social distancing.

To facilitate its services, the Great Minds Group has created a virtual executive boardroom known as ‘DigiConnect’, designed for industry professionals to share knowledge, insights and experiences for immediate support for various business issues.

Each discussion will be conducted for two hours, via a bespoke online video conferencing with secure technology, allowing up to 50 industry experts to participate in each meeting.

The first five conferences will include: E-learning solutions: 27 April 2020

To ensure continuity in education and training activities government authorities in Middle Eastern countries have instructed educational institutions to facilitate digital learning.

While most have developed their own temporary platforms to quickly respond to the mandate these systems will soon be deemed as unfit for future purpose, resulting in the need for advanced e-Learning solutions and platforms.

E-healthcare solutions: 30 April 2020

The need for virtual hospitals has become stronger than ever before due to COVID-19 requiring isolation. As a result the disease has boosted the uptake of virtual and telehealth, due to an increase in demand for remote consultation and online healthcare services.

While the UAE has already regulated this technology in Dubai and established ‘A Doctor to Every Citizen’ initiative, the current situation has surged a need to accelerate this technology, and to urgently upgrade and adopt more advanced digital health solutions and platforms.

Cybersecurity: 5 May 2020

Established to discuss the rise of cybercrime and hackers using COVID-19 to scam businesses and citizens, as well as the adoption of large-scale, work from home technologies and online services.

It is more critical than ever before for businesses to deploy the most reliable cyber security solutions.

E-shopping, delivery and returns: 10 May 2020

Witnessing a dramatic increase in online shopping, online retailers and fresh delivery services are facing unforeseen high demand which has led to slower than usual delivery schedules and increasing return volumes.

As a result major retailers are looking for solutions and advanced platforms to help them effectively cope with delivery and return management challenges.

Cloud computing: 13 May 2020

Cloud technology has allowed many organisations to meet the unplanned online demand in ways that a decade ago wouldn’t have been possible.

While many have already adopted cloud security the pandemic has given them no choice but to shift their infrastructure and operations to the cloud and find the right solutions for rapid, secure and consistent deployment of application environments to support remote working.
