Institutions held in the Emirate of Dubai, the University of Bahrain (UOB) won and

university students, as it hosts a desktop operating system on central servers
in the University’s main data center. Indicating that the smart desktop
technology is one of the latest interactive technologies provided for users, as
it offers many advantages, including increased productivity, reduced errors,
ease of developing devices and providing them with the necessary updates
automatically and quickly, easy remote access to the user’s device to provide
the necessary support in case this is needed, as well as centrally and
automatically enhancing information security on the user’s machine.”

Also, UOB is making strenuous efforts in digital
transformation, as it is in line with the seventh axis “creating a changing
environment that meets the requirements and accommodates future variables” of
its development plan (2016-2021), towards creating a modern campus by adopting
modern technical concepts and the latest modern technologies that will
contribute to changing how we work within the University and how students
learn.
