Alteryx, specialists in data science and analytics, recently announced it is expanding its footprint in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) with the opening of its new office in Dubai.
Located in Dubai Internet City, the Alteryx MEA office was officially opened by Dean Stoecker, Chairman and CEO, Alteryx, who welcomed more than 250 executives at the launch event.
As a part of its investment in the region and continued global expansion, the new office will further support the success of current and prospective customers as they evolve their data analytic requirements as part of their digital transformation initiatives.
Alteryx recently reported 96% year-over-year (YoY) growth in international markets for the full year 2018, which accounted for 29 % of overall revenue as of Dec. 31, 2018.
“We are seeing a surge of interest in advanced data analytics within the Middle East and Africa. With the opening of our Dubai office, we look forward to better supporting local customers and partners as they Alteryx their data into actionable insights,” commented Abboud Ghanem, Regional Vice President, Middle East and Africa, Alteryx.
The company has a proven track record of working with MEA brands, including the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, Al Futtaim and Dubai Electricity, and Water Authority in the UAE (DEWA).
“Alteryx offers immense value as we continue to move away from manual processes and harness the power of data analytics within the Public Pension Agency,” said Hussein Alasmari, the IT Advisor to the Governor, of the Kingdom’s Public Pension Agency (PPA).
Although many struggle with turning that data into actionable insights that drive business results, IDC reports spending on business intelligence (BI) and analytics software in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is set to reach US$ 42.24mn this year.
This reflects a growing demand for analyzing large volumes of granular data that is helping to reinvent industries across the MEA region as they take advantage of the collected data in today’s digital economy.
