Global IT Alliance (GITA)

Great conversations don’t just happen—they happen when global leaders come together with openness, insight, and a shared willingness to challenge the status quo. A sincere thank you to the CxO Institute community for the opportunity to have Emery Geosits to lead this engaging boardroom session on behalf of GITA, the Global IT Alliance with Isabella Geosits and Vanessa B. contributing to the discussions and representing our capabilities. It was a privilege to exchange ideas with technology executives from around the world on the challenges and opportunities of managing IT across increasingly complex multinational organizations. The openness, insight, and collaboration in the room made for an exceptional discussion. These conversations reinforce the value of bringing global leaders together to share experiences, challenge conventional thinking, and help shape the future of enterprise technology. Thank you to everyone who participated—the GITA Team looks forward to continuing the dialogue. #GITA #TOGA #InternationalCollaboration

International growth is not just about expansion — it is about staying aligned across borders. The "Discover Bechtle’s International Strength" event brought together IT professionals from across the Netherlands and Belgium for valuable discussions on the realities of international business today. What made this event especially meaningful was that the conversations went far beyond technology. They focused on how organisations can build the right structure to support international growth, make smart strategic decisions, and align procurement, support, and IT processes across multiple countries — without adding unnecessary complexity.   Topics such as international standardisation, local agility, and cross-border collaboration strongly resonated with participants, underlining that these are no longer future challenges, but clear business priorities of today. It was encouraging to see how strongly customers value Bechtle’s ability to support their international ambitions and act as a trusted partner in addressing complex cross-border needs. Together with Global IT Alliance (GITA), this creates a powerful combination of strong local expertise and global reach — enabling customers to meet their international requirements with confidence.   We were honoured to be part of this event, to exchange closely with customers and colleagues, and to further strengthen collaboration. A sincere thank you to everyone who contributed to the discussions and shared their perspectives — and congratulations to Bechtle B.V. and Bechtle NV for hosting such an insightful and enriching event.

Great to be in Las Vegas this week for the HPE conference, connecting with industry leaders, partners, and innovators shaping the future of technology. One of the things that continues to stand out is the strength of the partnership between Hewlett Packard Enterprise and the Global IT Alliance. Together, we create value by combining HPE's innovation and global reach with the local expertise, trusted relationships, and execution capabilities of GITA members across more than 150 countries. In an increasingly complex global environment, organizations need partners who can deliver consistently across borders while understanding local business, regulatory, and cultural requirements. That's exactly where GITA and our member organizations make a difference. Thank you to HPE for the continued partnership and to our GITA members around the world who bring these solutions to life every day.

Emerging Markets Watch: IT Infrastructure Growth Across Africa, Southeast Asia, and LATAM Emerging markets are moving to the center of global IT infrastructure – with Africa, Southeast Asia and LATAM shaping what “next gen” really looks like. Key takeaways of the below article: 💡 Africa – leapfrogging legacy Mobile-first, data centers and edge in markets like Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa. Big momentum in fintech, e-government and telecoms – but power issues and fragmented regulation make local partnerships essential. 💡 Southeast Asia – scaling a digital-first economy Young, tech-savvy populations and booming e-commerce. Heavy investment in hyperscale data centers, 5G and hybrid cloud across Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. Success requires high agility in diverse regulatory and infrastructure environments. 💡 LATAM – modernization meets nearshoring Nearshoring is accelerating cloud adoption and fiber expansion, especially in Brazil, Mexico and Chile. Focus on cybersecurity, data sovereignty and hybrid IT to modernize legacy and strengthen digital resilience, despite economic volatility. Success in these regions is no longer about just “bringing technology” – it’s about localized infrastructure, regional insight, hybrid/multi-cloud by default and secure, scalable architectures built with strong local ecosystems. These markets are not only high-growth – they are defining the future operating model of global IT. If you are exploring or expanding in Africa, Southeast Asia or LATAM and need support, feel free to reach out.
