Great things happen when people get together — and that’s why CompTIA has launched an open, vendor-neutral community focused on the needs of the Benelux region, encompassing Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The goal of this new community is to help businesses thrive in a time of unprecedented change.
The group of volunteers from the Benelux industry recently met in Amsterdam to discuss their top technology challenges. Around the world, those of us in IT share many of the same challenges — but these are not necessarily the same in order of priority for each region.
Security is probably the No. 1 priority everywhere, but it is even more important in the Benelux region where IoT and AI are advancing. Human resources to meet the needs of the expanding role of high tech in Benelux is also at the top of the list. And, these challenges all depend on the IT professionals in the channel-partner community being agile enough to keep up with changing times, emerging technology and new demands from end users.
The CompTIA workshop in Amsterdam also suggested seven ways an international association can bring resources to help the Benelux community address these four main challenges. While we are working on our individual business development, there are common challenges that can make our individual journeys easier.
CompTIA captured the Benelux workshop ideas in an infographic, which also serves as an invitation for others in the industry who share these challenges to join us. As the Benelux community begins, we’re all looking forward to working together.
