CONNECT-PS and Cisco Bring Connected Networks, Cybersecurity and Data Intelligence to Cairo ICT 2026
CONNECT-PS is teaming up with Cisco at Cairo ICT 2026 to demonstrate how enterprises can bring networking, cybersecurity, collaboration and data intelligence into a more connected technology environment as AI becomes increasingly embedded in business operations.
The two companies will showcase a portfolio spanning Cisco networking and collaboration technologies, customer experience solutions and Cisco Splunk integrations during the 30th edition of Cairo ICT, which will take place from November 7 to 10 at the Egypt International Exhibition Center.
This year’s event is being held under the theme “AI in Action: Turning Intelligence into Impact,” shifting the focus from AI experimentation toward technologies that can deliver measurable operational value.
For CONNECT-PS, the participation also highlights a growing enterprise challenge: deploying AI and advanced digital services requires more than adding new applications. Companies increasingly need networks, security, data visibility and collaboration systems capable of working together as part of the same technology architecture.
Four Technologies Behind the Enterprise AI Shift
At Cairo ICT, CONNECT-PS and Cisco will focus on four areas that sit behind increasingly digital and AI-driven enterprise operations.
Cisco Collaboration will demonstrate technologies designed to improve communication and workplace collaboration, while Cisco Network solutions will focus on the infrastructure required to support more connected and resilient business environments.
Cisco CX will address how organizations can improve customer experience and maximize the value of their technology investments.
The fourth area brings Splunk into the picture, with Cisco Splunk integrations designed to give enterprises greater visibility into their data and operations, enabling proactive monitoring and helping teams identify potential issues before they escalate.
Together, these technologies illustrate how the enterprise technology stack is becoming more interconnected, with networking, cybersecurity, observability and data increasingly operating as parts of the same environment.
CONNECT-PS: Technology Must Deliver Measurable Business Value
Nadia Khalifa, Head of Marketing and Partner Relations at CONNECT-PS, said the company’s partnership with Cisco is focused on helping organizations build smarter, more secure and flexible working environments.
“Our participation with Cisco at Cairo ICT 2026 is an important opportunity to strengthen our ability to provide integrated solutions that help organizations build smarter, more secure and agile working environments,” Khalifa said.
“Through this partnership, we are working to deploy the latest technologies in line with organizations’ needs, helping improve operational efficiency, enhance customer experience and support data-driven decision-making.”
Khalifa said the real value of technology lies in its ability to produce tangible and sustainable business outcomes rather than simply introducing new tools into an organization.
The solutions being showcased with Cisco bring together intelligent collaboration, network modernization, customer experience and Splunk’s data analytics and operational monitoring capabilities, she added.
Local Expertise Meets Cisco’s Technology Portfolio
The partnership combines CONNECT-PS’s knowledge of the Egyptian enterprise market with Cisco’s technologies across networking, cybersecurity and digital infrastructure.
That combination is intended to help companies address another challenge created by accelerating digital transformation: ensuring that different technologies do not become isolated layers within the organization.
According to Khalifa, effective digital transformation requires technology deployments to remain aligned with an organization’s strategic objectives while being capable of scaling and adapting as business requirements change.
Cybersecurity and service continuity are central to that equation.
As organizations become more connected and increasingly dependent on data and AI-driven applications, network reliability and security become part of the foundation on which those applications operate rather than separate technology considerations.
Splunk Adds a Data and Observability Layer
Splunk is particularly relevant to that shift.
Its integration into Cisco’s broader portfolio expands the role of enterprise data beyond traditional analytics, giving organizations greater visibility across technology environments and helping them monitor infrastructure and operations more proactively.
For businesses, this can mean connecting what is happening across networks, systems and security environments rather than relying on fragmented monitoring tools.
The approach also reflects a broader evolution in enterprise technology: AI can generate more value when organizations have reliable infrastructure and sufficient visibility into the data and systems on which it depends.
Cairo ICT Turns 30 as AI Moves Into Deployment
CONNECT-PS and Cisco’s participation comes as Cairo ICT reaches its 30th edition, with AI expected to play a central role across the exhibition and conference.
For enterprises, however, the next phase of AI adoption is likely to be determined not only by the sophistication of individual AI models but also by the infrastructure surrounding them.
Networks need to handle increasingly complex workloads, cybersecurity systems need to respond to new risks, employees need more intelligent collaboration tools, and organizations need visibility across growing volumes of operational data.
That makes the technologies behind AI as important as the applications users ultimately see.
At Cairo ICT 2026, CONNECT-PS and Cisco are positioning their joint portfolio around that underlying layer — the networks, security, collaboration and data intelligence required to turn AI from an isolated te
chnology investment into part of everyday enterprise operations.
