OOREDOO, one of the region's leading ICT providers, on Monday announced a partnership with digital transformation enabler SAP to deliver cloud solutions that can enable Qatar's business competitiveness and fuel economic growth.
Supporting Qatar's organisations in adopting SAP's enterprise application solutions, Ooredoo will offer managed cloud solutions through private hosted cloud. Ooredoo can package and manage SAP business solutions, from analytics to enterprise resource planning, delivered via an OpEx consumption model whether on-premise or via the Ooredoo Data Centre.
Ooredoo's Chief Operating Officer Yousuf Abdulla al Kubaisi said:"Our partnership with SAP leverages our leading network infrastructure with SAP's global cloud experience to enable new digital business models. The cloud is now a must-have for Qatar's organisations. By using a budget-friendly opex-based model, Qatar's organisations can become more agile, scale up quickly and easily and add on applications that meet their business needs. Cloud-based applications can optimise costs, reduce complexity and let organisations explore new technologies."
As part of the managed cloud partnership, Ooredoo can also bundle infrastructure and hosting services, along with application life cycle management, security and business consulting services. By bundling the technology solutions together, Ooredoo can reduce the complexity of their customers' IT infrastructure, and accelerate customer deployments.
Fokion Angelopoulos, country manager for SAP Qatar, said:"By partnering with Ooredoo, SAP is enabling Qatar's organisations to more readily adopt private cloud solutions to reach new levels of business competitiveness and to support the Qatar National Vision 2030's economic growth goals. In the next several years, the biggest opportunity will come from Qatar's organisations that were only light users of cloud, as these CIOs ramp up private cloud adoption to support larger workloads and more applications."
SAP is one of the world's leading cloud companies, with more than 365,000 customers in 180 countries worldwide. The company offers packaged solutions for over 25 industries.
Business customers can leverage the Ooredoo Advantage, making Ooredoo"Best for Business", thanks to its breadth and depth of talent, best fixed and mobile networks, broadest portfolio of ICT services and solutions and trusted partner for 60 years.
