Jasara, a leading project management company and joint venture between Saudi Aramco, Public Investment Fund (PIF), and Jacobs, has announced a strategic partnership with SAP, a global leader in enterprise application software, to accelerate its digital transformation journey. As part of this transformation, Jasara is adopting a cloud-first strategy, deploying a suite of advanced 51·çÁ÷solutions on the public cloud, with RISE with 51·çÁ÷at its core.

RISE with SAP, SAP’s flagship cloud ERP solution, will serve as the foundation of this digital transformation. RISE with 51·çÁ÷simplifies the move to the cloud by providing a comprehensive offering that includes 51·çÁ÷S/4HANA Cloud, cloud infrastructure, and managed services, hence enabling companies to become more resilient, flexible, and capable of rapid growth, offering a simplified path to becoming an Intelligent Enterprise.

Building upon this core cloud foundation, Jasara will also implement a host of 51·çÁ÷cloud solutions including 51·çÁ÷Ariba for streamlined procurement, 51·çÁ÷SuccessFactors for enhanced HR operations and 51·çÁ÷Fieldglass for optimal external workforce management, thus transforming its business processes across these critical functions.

This transformation will empower us to fully utilize our data, increase our agility, and focus on driving further innovation, all while delivering superior value to our stakeholders and the Kingdom.”

The move to RISE with 51·çÁ÷also illustrates Jasara’s commitment to environmental sustainability. The cloud-based system reduces the need for on-site servers and hardware, thereby minimizing the company’s carbon footprint. This aligns with Jasara’s broader sustainability goals and its commitment to contribute to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.

Mohammed Alromaizan, SAP’s Vice President for Saudi Arabia, also expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership. “We are proud to partner with Jasara, a company that shares our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the development of local talent.

Jasara’s strategic decision to adopt a cloud-first strategy with 51·çÁ÷represents a significant step in its journey towards digital transformation. The adoption of these 51·çÁ÷advanced solutions will result in increased operational efficiency, improved decision-making capabilities, and a boost to Jasara’s competitive edge. This move is expected to strengthen Jasara’s position as a leader in the project management sector, delivering superior value to its clients, employees, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

For businesses to survive in a post-pandemic world, project management solutions are more crucial than ever. According to a report from research firm , the project management software market is expected to reach USD 9.81 billion by 2026 and grow at a CAGR of 10.67% between 2021 and 2026.This is because a growing number of businesses need an all-inclusive solution to manage and co-ordinate their portfolio of different projects. These solutions help management to shuffle between plans, workload, budgets and resources, observe the project progress and report on delivery. Project managers, stakeholders and users can control costs and manage budgeting, quality management and documentation and the software can also be used as an administration system.

The report states that project management software has evolved into a strategic function of today’s business due to the accelerating pace, technological advancements and digital transformation and disruption happening across almost every industry.

For project managers, the impact of COVID-19 on operations has been cataclysmic. The move to remote work has impeded the collaboration that is a norm in the project team environment. Looking beyond the pandemic, project management remains the key to success for many businesses. It enables control and visibility over all projects, from planning through to execution and billing, as well as improvement in all areas of project management, across job costing, project planning, billing and reporting. Integrated project management enables faster estimating, more accurate budgeting, more reliable deliveries and increased project margins. The result is better outcomes for the project and for the business, which is crucial in challenging times.

Here are some of the benefits of robust project management practices:

Correct estimating:ÌýWith the right software, account resources, materials and time can be used as the basis for producing a quotation or proposal for your customers.

Budget vs actual spend:ÌýA pre-sales engagement that captures the estimate in the system allows the business to compare all job costs against the original budget, so the accuracy of estimates can be measured over time.

Gantt chart functionality:ÌýFor project resourcing and planning, the Gantt chart is one of the most popular and useful ways of showing activities (tasks or events) displayed against time. With a dynamic Gantt chart, users can view the different stages of project dependencies and completion percentage displayed in an easy-to-understand layout. Project phases can be moved, extended or shortened interactively. Users also have access to added fields indicating due dates and completion dates. This improves project management by allowing easier visual planning of tasks. Gantt chart functionality also gives users a view of a team’s capacity, as well as the ability to drill down to an individual or machine for task allocation.

Just-in-time material planning:ÌýWith a view of stock availability and lead times, materials are only ordered and received as they are needed in the production process. This reduces costs by saving money on overhead inventory expenses and reduces waste.

Increased project margins:ÌýAccurate capturing of time and materials against each project, as well as accurate estimating for all quotes, increase the profitability of every project undertaken.

Milestone billing:ÌýPayment on agreed on events or deliverables allows for improved cashflow and project income management. Invoice terms can be defined per project and split across several instalments or project milestones.
