CIGNEX Global Holding, a provider of commercial open source technologies, has partnered with a Dubai-based IT provider NetwrokGulf Information Technology to provide enterprise open source offerings in UAE.

The company said that it there is an increased adoption of commercial open source offerings globally, as it facilitates enterprises in reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of IT offerings.

NetworkGulf director V Dileep said that they are experiencing increased open source adoption in the UAE due to the challenging economic scenario world-over.

"CIGNEX, with over 150 successful global open source implementations, is an ideal partner for NetworkGulf to associate with," Dileep said.

"With this alliance, we are in a position to deliver world-class enterprise open source offerings to our customers in the UAE at a vastly reduced TCO."
