The win is a testament not only to SBM’s commitment to innovation, but also to its customers and their satisfaction and business growth, according to the firm.

The IBM Beacon Awards programme recognises IBM business partners that deliver exceptional solutions to help drive business value and transform the way clients and industries operate. This year’s programme represented the 20th anniversary of the IBM Beacon Awards.

SBM succeeded in delivering IBM SDS and IBM All Flash and SVC to one of its clients, which helped them to better manage and provision their storage and increase readiness for their digital transformation journey.

The solution will also help the client to accelerate implementing analytics and AI applications that will support their business and reduce time to market, according to SBM.

IBM SDS is now strongly positioned in the Saudi market as one of the best SDS solution providers, according to SBM.

SBM was selected among dozens of global applicants based on an in-depth application process that included customer testimonials.

Winning an IBM Beacon Award will forever mark our place in IBM’s storied tradition of constant innovation, according to the firm.
