Financial solutions provider based in UAE set to modernize its IT infrastructure
United Arab Bank (UABhas recently announced it will embark on a digital transformation powered by global technology company SAP with Amazon Web Services (AWS) securely hosting the data, according to a press communique.
The adoption of RISE with SAP and deployment of various SAP solutions, led by UAB’s Chief Information Officer, Ayman AlQudsi, who has orchestrated a scalable digital transformation roadmap, will enhance the bank’s services to its customers and employees, while also preparing the way to adopt SAP’s ‘Carbon Accounting’ approach with continual measurement and reporting on green data.
“At UAB, we are focused on both environmental and workforce sustainability, so we are extending our use of SAP SuccessFactors by moving the HR core to the cloud. The end-to-end HR solution enables a flexible working environment with greater mobility for employees. It supports UAB’s commitment to Emiratization and ensures we have a sustainable, skilled and engaged workforce,” asserted Shirish Bhide, CEO, UAB.
In addition to upgrading and moving its core enterprise resource planning (ERP) and HR systems to the cloud, UAB will upgrade its procurement functions. With the implementation of SAP Ariba and SAP Signature Management with DocuSign, UAB will benefit from digitalization and automation of its procurement processes, which can reduce paper wastage by up to 80%.
“This lays the groundwork for adopting solutions that will enable UAB to collect data, analyze its ESG goals, and report on its green line. SAP believes businesses of all sizes and across industries need to adopt cloud solutions so that they can benefit from ongoing advances in AI, sustainability data and automation,” affirmed Sergio Maccotta, Senior Vice President, SAP Middle East and Africa-South.
