The biggest deal of its kind ever signed in the Middle East
Riyadh - Oger Systems, the Saudi's leading system integrator, has signed an agreement with Saudi Oger (SO) to deploy the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions provided by Oracle Systems, in a step to improve efficiency and boost performance for the latter.
It has been described as the biggest deal of its kind to be implemented in the Middle East.
This significant project comes in response to the huge growth Oger Systems has been lately witnessing.

"Implementing the ERP system is another example of our commitment to provide state-of-the-art technology and infrastructure services matching global standards", said Fadi El Masri, CEO of Oger Systems. He pointed out that the ERP System project will have nine divisions serving more than 23,000 users.

It will also help replace existing applications and processes, thereby reducing associated overhead and retaining the necessary functionality.

El-Masri said the system will also help implement a world-class reporting framework, resulting from improved data collection, database and reporting tools in order to facilitate the aggregation/desegregation of divisions/business units into any desired hierarchies.
"Modern technology plays a key role in helping companies better manage their businesses. And Oracle Solutions are certainly the excellent, efficient tool to improve the process of resources management within organizations. We are totally positive of the great benefits we'll get as a result of having Oracle ERP Solutions rolled out in our company", he added.
