“The complexity of our operations and the extension of our activities across a wide range of sectors in Saudi Arabia and Egypt required a flexible system for managing enterprise resources with capabilities to unify and integrate our business operations while maintaining our ability to adapt and undergo continuous development. SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud provides the ability to access and control processes, obtaining instant information that enhances our informed decision-making process,” Eng. Bandar Alhomaidhi, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and Managing Director, SIDC, said of the transformation.
The implementation will include the adoption of RISE with SAP to accelerate the move to the cloud and to ensure automatic software upgrades under a single agreement. As a result, SIDC will benefit from SAP’s continued focus on embedding advanced technologies such as generative AI and sustainability analytics across its solutions.
“SAP has in-depth expertise in more than 40 industries, so we were ideally placed to understand SIDC’s complex structure and diverse needs. With automatic upgrades in technology and a flexible, scalable system, SIDC will be able to continue its successful investments and respond quickly to opportunities for future growth,” asserted Mohammed Alromaizan, Vice President, SAP KSA.
