Oman has reached a significant milestone in its digital transformation with Oman’s first private cloud data center being launched by global technology company SAP in alignment with Oman’s Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology (MTCIT).
At the same time, Oman-based global integrated energy company OQ signed an agreement with SAP to adopt RISE with SAP and to run its SAP solutions, including integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) across all of its business assets, on the new in-country data center, making it the first SAP Oman private cloud customer.
SAP’s data center will help to empower the Omani Vision 2040 strategy by speeding up innovation and cloud adoption and enabling companies across more than 25 industries to leverage the benefits of SAP’s cloud solutions with secure in-country data storage.
Moving to the cloud, OQ will be able to leverage the benefits of SAP S/4HANA ERP, which include increased efficiencies, 360-degree visibility, and greater control over all operations.
The Omani data center is ready for immediate use by businesses who wish to adopt SAP cloud solutions or existing cloud computing clients who wish to transfer their information to be hosted within Oman. The data center can support companies across all industries, including the oil and energy sector, education, higher education, health facilities, local companies, and other sensitive entities with confidential information that remains securely stored within the Sultanate.
