At an event hosted this morning in Johannesburg, Intel South Africa announced the local availability of its Intel Developer Zone, a global programme designed to provide software developers and businesses with a single point of access to a variety of tools, communities and resources.

The Intel Developer Zone provides a platform for developers to engage with peers and develop, market and sell their software.

“Intel South Africa recognises the rapid growth and demand of evolving technology, the demand of customer expectation vs. experience and the need for organisations to create best-selling software and apps that not only change lives, but have a lasting impact on communities,” says Mohammed Fareed, Software and Service Group Business Development Manager at Intel South Africa.

The Intel Developer Zone makes it easy for the software ecosystem to gain access to Intel expertise, knowledge, and technology in an effort to facilitate the development of innovative software and apps that in turn deliver a higher value to the customers who purchase and use them.

Today’s software ecosystem is full of challenges and opportunities. Technology is powering new user experiences & expectations from touch screens and battery life to data security and cloud accessibility.

The Intel Developer Zone provides the resources to help developers learn and embrace these evolving market shifts while providing the guidance and tools to maximise development efforts across many form factors, platforms, and operating systems.

“The Intel Developer Zone forms part of Intel’s Software and Services Group (SSG). A business unit within Intel that recognizes that software is tightly coupled with all Intel platforms and processors, SSG is a worldwide provider of software products and services, design resources, technical expertise and consulting,” concludes Fareed.
