The petro-dollars boom, in the Middle East, progressively draws, important investments in Infrastructure, IT services, Mobility, and Security.

This conjuncture is subject to a set of reports like the recent study from IDC International Data Corporation (IDC): 'Middle East Software Market 2014 Top 10 Predictions'.

This report captured by Connectikpeople.co, predicts that, the software markets of the Middle East will be in the great curve in 2014, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are stimulating this expansion through the initiation of infrastructure projects and implementation of citizen services.

IDC believes that the focus for 2014 will be on how organizations in the Middle East jointly manage the proliferation of different device form factors, tackle the complexity of the threat landscape, and address the inevitable IT infrastructure spreading that will occur as uptake of 3rd Platform technologies such as cloud, Big Data, mobility, and

social media explodes.

According to IDC, significant traction is expected in the government and healthcare sectors as organizations increasingly look to put mobility at the heart of their IT environments. The need for identity and access management software will also rise as governments strive to secure and unify citizens' identities in an attempt to provide a consistent and improved user experience. In the telecommunications, banking, healthcare, and education sectors, the adoption of identity and access management will be driven by the need to protect customers' personal and financial information.
