Infor supports Saudi Arabias digital transformation

Riyadh –  The global leader in business cloud software specialised by industry, Infor, has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation efforts across a broad range of sectors.

Digital transformation has been a key focus area of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which aims to enrich the lives of its citizens and develop a prosperous and future-ready society, according to Infor’s statement on Sunday.

Haitham Al-Ohali, Saudi Arabia’s deputy minister of communications and information technology, said that collaboration with the private sector has enabled the country to become a rapidly expanding technology market, whose volume is forecasted to surpass $35 billion by 2030.

Accordingly, Infor signed two agreements with Saudi Bugshan, one of the largest groups active in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) with interests spanning automotive, beauty & fragrance, education, food & beverage, healthcare, and real estate.

“Infor will assist the conglomerate with its ambitious digital transformation efforts across multiple countries with the implementation of a suite of applications based around Infor LN enterprise resource planning,” the statement highlighted.

Meanwhile, the second deal revolves around Saudi Bugshan Barmaja becoming an alliance partner assisting in the deployment of a range of Infor solutions across the region.

On 14 October, Infor announced its partnership with Saudi Arabian diversified business group Bugshan Barmaja.

Under the deal, Bugshan will deploy a new suite of Infor solutions to provide a single, unified digital platform, as it aims to transform and automate domestically and overseas its key business functions, including human capital management, finance, customer relationship management (CRM) and procurement.

Another recent addition to Infor’s portfolio lies with Almajdouie Logistics Company’s adoption of Infor’s warehouse management system (WMS).

Almajdouie, which is one of the largest logistics service providers in Saudi Arabia, desired a robust and scalable integrated WMS that would meet immediate needs and cater to future demands.

“With digital transformation being a key focus of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, it is no surprise that we continue to find success in the kingdom, with increasing demand for our enterprise solutions,” Jonathan Wood, Infor’s general manager of the Middle East and Africa, commented.
