Right from inception, it has recognised the opportunities that the right use of technology affords and over the years has consistently invested in digital solutions and platforms to enhance teaching and learning.
GEMS Education is a technology leader in its field, setting new benchmarks and redefining the future of education. One technology partner that has a long history of collaboration with GEMS and has been a big part of its Digital Transformation journey has been Aruba.
Jacob Chacko, Regional Director for Middle East, Saudi and South Africa at Aruba, said: “Our association with GEMS goes back over a decade. We consider it a huge honour and achievement to be associated with the world’s largest provider of K-12 education. Over the years, we have been involved in creating a robust unified networking infrastructure through Aruba’s wireless and secure access management technologies coupled with HPE’s switches, enabling the Group to transition to a more technology-enriched and secure environment.
“I can’t thank GEMS Education enough for giving us the opportunity to be a part of their Digital Transformation journey and we reiterate our commitment to continue to support them as their plans for digitalisation further evolves.”
