SAB Holding, a business house in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, has selected IBM Cloud to host its SAP applications.
IBM Cloud’s SAP-certified infrastructure will provide the agility and speed to keep pace with business demands, while helping accelerate its business processes and leveraging its business data for better decision-making.
To support the growth of SAB Holding’s construction services subsidiary (RCC), SAB Holding launched Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications from SAP’s S/4HANA to support finance, supply chain management, HR and payroll, project system and enterprise content management, delivered via the IBM Cloud.
SAB Holding’s technology subsidiary has implemented IBM Cloud within seven days with zero downtime.
Experts at IBM’s cloud data center in Germany manage IBM Cloud infrastructure — backed by IBM’s network spanning 19 countries and six continents.
SAB Holding has achieved a dip in the time spent managing its IT environment and launching new applications. Main benefit to SAB Holding employees is the new, automated processes for gathering month-end closing and status reports. Employees can efficiently leverage their data to make faster, better business decisions.
“Time constraint was a major challenge for us. By selecting the IBM Cloud, we were able to launch our mission-critical SAP-based ERP applications in a timely and seamless manner, without disrupting our business,” said Hatem Bakheet, CEO of SAB Innovation.
Tarek Zarg El Aioun, COO, IBM Saudi Arabia, said IBM Cloud will not only deliver the flexibility and scalability the business needs, but will enable SAB Holding to have its technology subsidiary focus on highly strategic initiatives, while IBM handles the day-to-day management of the cloud.
