The success of TrioTree’s healthcare IT solutions for a chain of hospitals and medical centers in Bahrain has given the company valuable insights into the region’s healthcare landscape. This firsthand experience, coupled with the company’s deep understanding of the local market, led to the decision to expand its presence into both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. By building on its achievements in Bahrain, TrioTree is poised to tap into Saudi Arabia‘s demand for healthcare IT solutions, helping hospitals and healthcare providers modernize their operations and improve patient outcomes.

Commenting on this expansion Surjeet Thakur, Founder & CEO of TrioTree Technologies said “We see immense potential in the healthcare sectors of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. With our expertise in healthcare digitalization and our successful implementations in Bahrain, we are confident that this expansion will enable us to bring transformative solutions to these markets. This move marks an important milestone in our global growth strategy and will allow us to continue making a positive impact across the Middle East.”

TrioTree’s expansion into these markets comes at a time when Saudi Arabia is undergoing a significant transformation in its healthcare system, with digitalization being a top priority. TrioTree’s solutions are tailored to meet the needs of the region’s hospitals and healthcare providers, offering cutting-edge technology to improve operational efficiency and streamline healthcare processes. The company’s experience with regulatory compliance, including e-insurance and Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) requirements in Bahrain, has positioned it to successfully navigate similar challenges in Saudi Arabia.

By establishing a local office in Bahrain, TrioTree is not only able to offer continuous support to its clients but also demonstrates its commitment to being seen as a trusted local partner in the region. This permanent presence helps overcome common challenges faced by foreign companies, such as concerns about operational stability and long-term commitment. By employing local resources and setting up an office in collaboration with the EDB, TrioTree has ensured that it is well-positioned to meet the needs of its clients in Bahrain and beyond.

Looking ahead, TrioTree’s growth strategy involves deepening its presence in the Middle East and leveraging its success in Oman, Kuwait, and now Bahrain, to further expand into Saudi Arabia. As hospitals and healthcare systems in the region increasingly embrace digitalization, TrioTree aims to become a leader in healthcare IT, delivering solutions that enhance operational efficiency, improve patient care, and contribute to the ongoing transformation of healthcare across the Middle East.

India – Oct.15, 2024 – Cloudera unveiled its vision and momentum for accelerating the path to true hybrid during its annual data and AI conference, EVOLVE24 New York, happened, October 10. As the industry’s first and only true hybrid platform for data, analytics, and AI, Cloudera has made a series of technology breakthroughs and investments to strengthen its commitment to enabling every enterprise to bring analytics and AI to data anywhere, helping to enable competitive differentiation.

The growth of hybrid environments in recent years is driven by the critical role of hybrid cloud in leveraging an organization’s complete data footprint. This enables enterprises to boost productivity, predict trends, and capitalize on key business opportunities. When data is kept siloed, enterprises cannot create, shift, and scale workloads and resources across the business, limiting their flexibility to address organizational needs and find new efficiencies. According to data from Cloudera, 93% of data leaders agree that “multi-cloud/hybrid capabilities for data and analytics are key for an organization to adapt to change.”

Cloudera is the only platform for data, analytics, and AI on the market that enables the seamless movement of data and workloads across all environments, empowering the world’s largest brands to transform data of all types into valuable, trusted insights. The Cloudera platform is also uniquely suited to break down traditional data barriers to enable enterprises to analyze data estates in place and bring GenAI models to their data wherever it lives. During today’s conference, customers received a preview of the vision as well as key capabilities in the next release and beyond, such as:

Unified platform: A single codebase for infrastructures, blurring the boundaries between cloud and on-premises environments. Capabilities, workloads, and governance work and feel the same everywhere, and can be adjusted as needs evolve.

Hybrid control plane: A “single pane of glass” to manage, monitor, and govern deployments across any infrastructure. This enables continuous optimizations for cost, performance, or any other business needs.

Open Data Lakehouse on hybrid architecture: Combines the flexibility of data lakes with the performance of data warehouses across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Unified security and governance: Consistent security, governance, and lineage across hybrid infrastructures allows organizations to maintain compliance and trust as they shift between infrastructures.

Federated data access: Ensures a unified hybrid experience where users, data, and analytics can seamlessly move between infrastructures to fit the needs of the organization.

Graviton (ARM) support: Customers can deploy Cloudera on ARM-based systems (like AWS Graviton) and traditional x86 environments, which ensures flexibility and portability of workloads across cloud, hybrid and on-prem infrastructures.

“While more businesses have opted to take a hybrid approach to data management, simply adopting a hybrid cloud infrastructure is not enough,” said Andrew Brust, Industry Analyst, Blue Badge Insights. “Meaningful results demand a ‘true’ hybrid cloud approach to data management, where data and analytics assets running on-premises and in multiple clouds are managed together and federated into a logical whole.True hybrid delivers more than simply deploying to many infrastructures in isolation; it lets data, analytics, and AI move seamlessly between all, to handle change and always be able to deliver insight and value in the most optimum manner. To achieve this, enterprises need a scalable, flexible data architecture that can grow with them. Cloudera is the only vendor on the market that’s delivering on this promise of helping enterprises achieve true hybrid at every point along their data management and analytics journeys.”

“As more enterprises prepare for an increasingly hybrid world, they’ll need a flexible, scalable, data analytics and AI framework,” said Dipto Chakravarty, Chief Product Officer at Cloudera. “This marks a pivotal moment for Cloudera as we continue to invest heavily into supporting enterprises on their true hybrid journeys. Change is now. Hybrid is now and we look forward to continuing to build upon the foundation that enables enterprises to thrive every step of the way.”

Built on the core principle of ‘never trust, always verify the User, Device and Network’ – ‘Airtel Secure Digital Internet’ will enable enterprises in India to navigate the complexities of the digital world by leveraging its unique capabilities in an effective, scalable and cost-efficient manner.

Sharat Sinha, CEO – Airtel Business said, “We are excited to partner with Zscaler to launch ‘Airtel Secure Digital Internet’ – a holistic solution for safeguarding enterprise networks. The cutting-edge solution will ensure that every internet interaction is rigorously verified, authenticated and authorized to deliver a robust layer of security that protects enterprises from evolving cyber threats. Together with Zscaler, we will offer a seamless and secure experience for businesses across India, enabling them to operate with confidence in today’s complex digital environment”.

Anant Nag, Area Vice President, India & SAARC, Zscaler, added “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Airtel Business to create a solution to help the growing needs of our customer base. Cybersecurity is a critical business priority and enterprises across the market are doubling down on implementing zero trust solutions to keep their organization secured. The inception of this joint solution stemmed from the market needs and growing demand and we are looking forward to helping our customers in their cloud security transformation journeys together with Airtel.”

India is at the forefront of technology innovation and adoption with enterprises, small and large, leading the way on a global scale. However, this exponential growth has also caught the attention of threat actors who are increasingly targeting local entities to launch attacks. For instance, according to Zscaler ThreatLabz, in the past year alone, Indian enterprises have seen over 79 million phishing attacks and more than 5 billion encrypted attacks, making India among the top three most-targeted markets globally. Now, more than ever before, it is important for organisations in India to strengthen their cybersecurity while managing multi-vendor security stacks, budget constraints, skill gaps and time-to-market issues. The zero trust architecture of ‘Airtel Secure Digital Internet’ reduces attack surfaces while simplifying security management by centralising policy enforcement. Its inherent cloud-native security ensures consistent protection for users across all locations. The scalable, cloud-based platform also eliminates the need for costly hardware, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing total cost of ownership.

To further optimise its network performance and minimise latency, Airtel has also strategically enhanced its Internet Points of Presence (PoPs) through the integration of Zscaler’s advanced security stack. As a distinguished Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) partner of Zscaler, Airtel is equipped to deliver comprehensive managed services, encompassing the entire security lifecycle—from initial deployment to continuous, premium-grade support. Enterprises can now leverage Airtel’s extensive, pan-India Internet Leased Line (ILL) connectivity to achieve secure, consistent connectivity across all their office locations. Enterprises also have the flexibility to procure Zscaler SSE as a standalone solution, bundled with Airtel’s managed services that can be further tailored for their unique requirements.
