Seizing Opportunities in a Connected World
Globalization has provided organizations with an opportunity to both contain costs as well as pursue new markets. For years now, outsourcing specific functions to workers outside their country has allowed organizations to reduce operational costs and increase profits. Advanced global networks have made it possible for these organizations to expand virtually anywhere in the world. And as the emerging countries develop economically, those countries become new market opportunities for IT and telecommunications suppliers. The world is smaller, but the opportunities are growing. In this conference, we will examine the dynamics of this shrinking globe, and take an in-depth look at the many opportunities in the fast growing Moroccan ICT market.
This conference will provide a detailed outlook of the Moroccan IT and telecommunications markets with particular emphasis on global opportunities. Through a compelling mix of keynotes and topic tracks, the conference offers in-depth analysis of specific segments of the technology industry.

WHY Morocco
Morocco's strength as an ICT outsourcing center stems from the rapid expansion of the country's ICT industry and the use of advanced global network. The Moroccan IT market grew from $403.88 million in 2001 to $638.69 million in 2006, translating into a compound Annual Growth Rate of 9.6% from 2001 to 2006.
And it should continue to expand. The Kingdom has committed to a public-private agreement and strategy for expanding the ICT sector to $9 billion in 2012, which will help solidify Morocco as a premiere center for outsourcing.

Integrated Management Strategies for Success
Khalid Debbarh, Sales Director, Involys
Miss Mahacine Limouni, Marketing Manager, Involys
Real estate management is multidimensional and multidisciplinary. Only a system based on an integrated approach would make it possible for the managers to work out summary and evolutionary financial set-ups, integrate the most known evaluation regulations, take into account the general parameters related to the trade, and compare various scenarios of feasibility for a better control of the realization phase of the real estate project.
Likewise, inherited assets such as land, infrastructure, buildings, technical facilities, specialized, and general equipment are highly varied, and their management requires an understanding of the many different interdependent dimensions.
This presentation will show that with all these various components and dimensions to be considered, only a total and coherent asset coverage plan is able to make movable and real estate inheritance a genuine engine of performance. |
