GBM knows that it is good to talk

GBM appreciates that Information Technology is an essential part of being in today's world; a part that organisations of all shapes, sizes and missions must make good use of. But how many professionals know or want to know the A-Z of Information Technology?

GBM Professional Services comes to the fore by offering true-blue consultancy on IT in business. This is achieved by providing counsel on methods for the effective, efficient implementation of IT solutions and services through a team of highly-skilled consultants who are capable conversing deep and broad to craft the right IT solution.

These services may be offered independently, or as a total unified package that prescribes tailored IT business solutions based on IBM technology addressing all or part of the total solution.

This expertise is drawn from mature markets, such as those of the United States and Europe, the emerging footprints of India and Pakistan, as well as the rapidly-growing regional markets in the Gulf.

Guided by a legacy of trusted values, and underpinned by an extensive portfolio of state-of-the art products and services, GBM's counsel is supported by the vast knowledge and expertise of IBM and Cisco.

The result is that GBM's Professional Services consultants are available to engage on every facet of IT services and solutions. GBM harnesses agile methodologies and best practices to efficiently align a firm's IT with strategic business goals.

This region-wide, multi-disciplined team has extensive experience across a broad range of vertical sectors, such as Financial Services, Government, Education, Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Hospitality, Transport, Healthcare and Utilities.

To a large number of these customers, GBM is a total, end-to-end, solution provider supplying equipment, software, network infrastructure, support and services.

One of many examples of vertical sector proficiency is GBM's large core team of Professional Services specialists from the banking and financial services industry. The majority of these seasoned individuals have built a solid career in the financial services industry before moving over to the technology side of the business.

As a result, GBM Professional Services has implemented a large number of different solutions for banks and financial institutions across the region, many catering to the specific requirements of Islamic Banking.

In addition to its own resources, GBM Professional Services has access to a large pool of solution specialists from a wide network of partners worldwide.

This means that the Professional Services team can offer IBM solutions, such as Data Warehousing, Business Intelligence, Document Management, IT Asset Management, Portal, SOA and many others - all based on IBM technologies, utilising IBM-branded software. Notably, GBM Professional Services is acknowledged as the expert in eGovernment solutions. GBM consultants have gained an in-depth knowledge of government rules and practices within the region and are sensitive to local cultural and language requirements. Testimonials show that eGovernment solutions provided by GBM have helped to improve the way governments work, and the manner in which they communicate both internally and externally.

Another area of strength is Project Management. The Professional Services team has built up a book full of credentials - from simple, single product implementations to complex integration projects involving multiple systems and business partners.

In addition, GBM Professional Services has a practice dedicated to the implementation of Enterprise business applications.

Here, GBM's expertise spans Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and Human Capital Management (HCM). Indeed, the team has successfully implemented a large number of projects using applications such as Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise, Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, SAP R/3, SAP mySAP and IBM Maximo.

The System Integration (SI) Services encompass Application Integration Middleware (AIM), Information Management (IM), Messaging and Collaboration (Lotus), and all include planning, designing and implementation services. The GBM SI services ensure customers are quickly enabled to use IBM software products and derive maximum benefit from the usage of the IBM software.
