WATCH: Western Digital on supporting its customers during the coronavirus pandemic

Western Digital, a global leader in data storage solutions, was deemed an "essential business" amid the coronavirus crisis, as it provides some of the most essential IT solutions and products in the industry.. Khwaja Saifuddin, Senior Sales Director, Middle East, Western Digital Corporation, explained the company is still working hard to deliver its products at a time when its customers need it most.. "Although the IT industry is going through challenging times, it has proved to be one of the central industries in today's situation, alongside F&B and healthcare.. As more and more businesses face economic challenges and make cuts to their budgets, Saifuddin was also keen on emphasising the need for IT for any business hoping to stay afloat during these times.. According to the Senior Sales Director, laying off staff is not an adequate solution to reduce overheads costs and organisations should find sustainable ways to keep their workforce in place until the end of these challenging times..
