Hello and welcome to the latest edition of Intelligent CIO Middle East. This month’ s cover story, which can be found on page 14, features Muhammad Irfan Khokhar, CEO of Muheel. He tells us how the company is transforming facilities management in Saudi Arabia through a fully integrated, data-driven CAFM platform powered by MRI Software.
By unifying operational data and enabling real-time analytics, Muheel can anticipate client needs, optimise maintenance and deliver greater transparency and efficiency.
