Meeza to Lead Qatari Delegation to Dubai IT Fair

DOHA: Encouraged by the recent study that showed Qatar becoming the leading market for ICT investments in the Middle East, a big local delegation led by MEEZA will participate in the upcoming Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX) Technology Week in Dubai from October 17 to 21.

Qatari ICT companies will increase its presence four-fold compared to last year at GITEX considered as the largest ICT event in the region to show growth in investments and to attract further business opportunities in the country.

As the major provider of cloud computing services in Qatar, MEEZA has recently won the award for Best New Cloud Services in the Middle East at the Data Centre Strategies Forum, in Abu Dhabi.

James Fanella, MEEZA Vice President for Sales and Marketing, said they are looking forward to develop a strong working relationship with global companies as Qatar’s ICT landscape expands.

“It is important that our clients, stakeholders and the broader public have an opportunity to hear about new and emerging IT solutions, and understand how these technologies are impacting organisations in Qatar and across the region,” Fanella said.

Qatari companies are fast establishing a reputation as drivers of ICT development such as small business solutions, telecoms and cloud computing and the rapidly increasing IT demands in the Middle East are being met by Qatari companies.

The GITEX Technology Week which will take place at Dubai International Convention Center will also provide an essential platform for companies looking to grow into the region.

Abdulla Qassem, Senior Vice President, Dubai World Trade Center, organiser of GITEX, said the event will help more Qatari organisations build business relationships with the global ICT community, which is now prioritising its attention to this part of the world.

Qassem said Qatar is one of the fastest growing economies in the Gulf and the infrastructure and ease of conducting business has made it a key market for international technology companies.

Many leading regional and international companies have confirmed their presence in the event including Amazon, Avaya, BlackBerry (RIM), Cisco Linksys, Comguard, Datel, Yahoo!, Maktoob, Etisalat, Ford, Fujitsu/Netapp, Genius/Edimax, Hitachi, HP, IBM, Kaspersky, Logicom, Microsoft, Monster, Music Master, Nokia, Oracle, Panasonic, Promate, RTA Secureway, Sharp, Symantec, Tandberg, Thuraya, Touchmate, Yahsat, and many more.

Hiring An IT Consultants

Some IT consultants are specialize in controlling a companies pre-existing IT solutions, while others specialize in the development of IT solutions from scratch. So if you are really looking for information technology management, be sure to ask if the IT company offers a comprehensive controlling strategies. Otherwise, there is no need to waste time on the first consultation with a company that specialized in what you don't need.

Make sure you really need expert IT Management

Outsourcing IT management has become a popular tool for business that some companies do not test if they can manage their own IT management. In some cases, the complexity and scale of enterprise computing solutions require them to hire an expert in the house or outsource to an expert. But in other cases, an enterprise solutions are so simple that can be managed by technical staff. However, always make sure that the dependent instruction provides them with management skills, as there are many horror stories about IT to delegate management to employees who are computer literate.

Find a consultant with experience in your business area

The appointment of a consultant, is like visiting a doctor. To help you with your problem properly diagnosed, you should consult a specialist who has experience working in your large enterprise IT concerns, which usually means hiring a professional who has demonstrated expertise in helping companies like yours. Any business, it may suggest viable solutions for any business. But if your goal is perfection and not workability, only hire a computer company that has good experience.

Determining whether a Consultant who works in house will be more affordable

In the era of outsourcing, the decision to employ a full-time experts in computer consulting instead of outsourcing to a reputable company it will raise some eyebrows for companies, but business wise, there are companies who knows that outsourcing can sometimes be more expensive than the hiring an expert in the house, or even a team of qualified experts. Instead of automatically accede to the idea that outsourcing is equal to the best results, do your research and make sure you do not only include a snapshot of the company.

Examine how a company's payment options agreement with your management requirements

There are management consultants that only accept clients on a contractual basis, while others offer services on pay as you go basis. If you know that outsourcing IT Consultants perform better in the near future, then a contract that is not a bad idea. But the flip side, information management is to hire a pay as you go basis to give greater financial freedom.

Research in Motion Reaches Deal With Saudi Arabia

Research In Motion has remained tight-lipped Saudi officials said the company has reached a tentative agreement that would allow the Government of the Kingdom "access to encrypted data of BlackBerry users to avoid the ban on mobile phones in the country.

The agreement is to place a server within Saudi borders, an official told the Associated Press on Saturday. The move likely would leave messages for control of the government and to dispel the concern that Blackberry could be used for criminal purposes " said Mohammed al-Bandar, a senior Saudi Communications and Information Technology Commission.

BlackBerry Users in UAE and Saudi May Have Services Cut

DUBAI/RIYADH (Reuters) - More than a million BlackBerry users may have key services in Saudi Arabia and the UAE cut off after authorities stepped up demands on smartphone maker Research In Motion for access to encrypted messages sent over the device.

BlackBerry's Messenger application has spread rapidly in the Gulf Arab region but because the data is encrypted and sent to offshore servers, it cannot be tracked locally.

"Certain BlackBerry services allow users to act without any legal accountability, causing judicial, social and national security concerns," the United Arab Emirates' Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) said in a statement.

The UAE said it would suspend BlackBerry Messenger, email and Web browser services from October 11 until a fix was found, while industry sources said Saudi Arabia had ordered local telecom companies to freeze Messenger this month.

Sunday's moves cap wrangling with regulators over the issue, which first surfaced in 2007.

India raised similar security concerns last week, and Bahrain in April warned against using BlackBerry Messenger to distribute local news. As far back as 2007, France cautioned officials about using the services.

Indian security officials were concerned that BlackBerry's encrypted data could be used to coordinate acts against the state. They have clamped down on mobile phone operators in the wake of 2008 attacks that killed 166 people in Mumbai.

The UAE, home to Gulf financial hub Dubai, said it would halt BlackBerry services until an "acceptable solution" was developed and applied.

Users of the device said that could mean disruptions for companies and individuals who rely on the services, including almost 700,000 in Saudi Arabia and some 500,000 in the UAE.

"It's a final decision but we are continuing discussions with them," Mohammed Al Ghanem, director general of the UAE's TRA, told Reuters.

Troubleshooting Fatal Error 2753 during Installation of HP Printer

The good thing about being an IT in Dubai or in any places is that you will learn many things and solve IT issues which we do not encounter all the time. And having a different specialization,
I am always excited to go out with them specially when it comes to troubleshooting.

This time, we were face with Fatal Error 2753 during installation of HP printer.

Since the client no longer has the installation cd of the HP Laserjet 3033 printer, we downloaded the driver from HP website.

After the driver was downloaded, we have run the installation but but got an error 2753. My colleague suspects that there are files which are either missing or were not properly installed. And after going through some websites looking for answer, we found out that indeed there were .dll files that needs to be removed.

Cause of Fatal Error 2753:

Certain HP services (and associated DLL files) were somehow partially/improperly installed. (Possibly, from a previous failed install?)

The Windows services (files) are:
Pml Driver HPZ12 (C:\Windows\System32\HPZipm12.dll)
Net Driver HPZ12 (C:\Windows\System32\HPZinw12.dll)

The existence of these 2 files in the System32 directory was causing this error in my situation. Somehow, the installation script was not identifying that these files were already installed (or improperly installed) and failing to properly set them to be installed again.

Solution to Fatal Error 2753:

Steps:

1) Check to make sure that the 2 Windows services above are not running (or not installed).
2) Rename/delete the 2 associated service DLL files (this will only be possible once the services are stopped)
3) Run the installation again.
