CAIRO, 12 hours, 57 minutes ago

Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, has inaugurated its new Centre of Excellence (CoE) facility in Cairo, Egypt. 
 
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by Dr Amr Talaat, Egypt's Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Eng Ahmed El-Zaher, CEO of the Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA) of Egypt, alongside Commvault executives, including Chief Executive Officer & President, Sanjay Mirchandani, Chief Customer Officer, Sarv Saravanan and Vice President & General Manager, Emerging Markets - CEE, CIS, & META, Fady Richmany. The event marks an important milestone in Commvault’s mission to enhance cyber resilience for organisations worldwide. 
 
At a time when enterprises are facing increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and attacks, Commvault helps organisations not only protect their data, but, if necessary, rapidly recover so that they can be resilient and operate in a state of continuous business. According to recent research from the Enterprise Strategy Group, the average organisation has seen 8 cyber incidents in the last year, 4 of which being classified as major. Commvault’s platform is designed to help customers predict threats faster, recover cleanly, and accelerate response times—all while delivering the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO).
 
Enhancing customer service
Commvault’s new CoE in Cairo underscores the company’s dedication to enhancing customer service across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). The CoE is poised to leverage the region's multilingual and technical talent, enabling Commvault to swiftly address customer needs and support its global clientele. 
 
Dr Talaat remarked: "This highlights the success of efforts to grow the outsourcing industry and attract global ICT investments.” He noted that the centre will create valuable job opportunities for Egyptian youth and transfer expertise in advanced cybersecurity solutions, a field in growing global demand. Dr Talaat also highlighted: “The Ministry’s initiatives to develop cybersecurity talent through specialised programmes, including bachelor’s and master’s degrees in collaboration with leading international universities, to bridge the skills gap in this critical sector."
 
Commvault, which has already created numerous employment opportunities and has invested in a world-class facility that can be expanded significantly, further bolsters Egypt’s burgeoning ICT sector, which has seen its contribution to the GDP rise from 3.2% to 5.8% in the 2023/2024 fiscal year.
