MANAMA: Digitalme Holding Group (Dime), a Bahrain-based global ICT solutions provider, has launched two products – Dime Connect and Dime World – to mark the first anniversary of its founding.
Held at the InterContinental Regency Bahrain yesterday, under the patronage of Transportation and Telecommunications Minister Kamal Ahmed and Capital Governor Shaikh Hisham bin Abdulrahman Al Khalifa, the launch event saw Dime chairman Abdullah Salem Busfar and chief executive Abdulaziz Qambar highlighting the importance of the Bahrain office in acting as a bridge between Asia Pacific and Europe.
The Middle East is not only playing a significant part in transforming the digitalisation of telecommunications, but it is also acting as a thought leader in exporting, sharing developments, and knowledge globally,” said Mr Busfar, adding that “Bahrain is making a clear statement that we are a global hub for disruptive digital transformation and empowerment.
This is why we launched Dime Connect and Dime World in Bahrain.”
Since inception, Dime Global has grown at an “exponential rate” with presence in three strategic areas Europe (London), Middle East (Bahrain) and Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), he said.
Dime Connect is a new disruptive social communication platform offering always connected real-time communications and collaboration facilities under a community structure.
It is targeted at government, enterprises and service providers seeking secure communication through protected enabling local infrastructure, said Mr Qambar.
Using Amazon Web Services, Dime Connect enables local telecommunication providers to become digital enablers and be part of a federated cloud which allows communities to be fully secured and serviced by the operators.
Dime World provides both corporate and individual customers with an innovative and affordable global data connectivity across 70 countries.
Dime World is available in two options, the regular SIM and a unique innovative Sticker SIM based on a patent technology.
At the celebration, Dime hosted Neal Schaffer, one of the top 50 global digital experts, who shared his valuable insights through a digital transformation keynote speech.
Mr Schaffer, who was presenting for the first time in the Middle East delivered a series of workshops and masterclasses on social media marketing and digital transformation.
