SAP highlights Oman’s digital transformation
Amid the rapid pace of digitalisation across Oman’s government and private sectors, global technology company SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) is showcasing its customisable solutions for digital transformation at COMEX, the sultanate’s largest technology, communications, innovation and digital transformation show from 23 - 25 May at the Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Waheed al Hamaid, SAP executive director of Business Development in Oman, said SAP’s participation at COMEX is focused on enabling entities to align with Oman’s Vision 2040, which includes developing information and communications technology.
Al Hamaid explains that having identified current market priorities through public sector research, SAP is highlighting its solutions for the intelligent enterprise, supply chain management, human experience management and intelligent spend management during COMEX, a press release said.
“A recent SAP-commissioned survey of IT decisionmakers in Oman and other GCC countries showed that areas of priority for digital investment in 2022 and beyond include human capital management, enterprise resource planning (ERP), core business solutions and procurement,” he said.
Hamaid pointed out that there are several factors that make this year’s COMEX event in Oman particularly important. “First, the pace of digital transformation across Oman and the whole GCC has accelerated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to our survey results. Second, we were delighted to see that Oman’s current focus on digital transformation was recognised by the Arab ICT Ministers Councils, which selected the sultanate as the Arab Digital Capital for this year. COMEX 2022 is, therefore, an ideal venue for sharing knowledge and ensuring that all entities in Oman can find solutions that meet them where they are, and accelerate their journey to becoming an Intelligent Enterprise.”
SAP defines an 'intelligent enterprise' as one that consistently applies advanced technologies and best practices within agile, integrated business processes.
