SANA鈥橝, Yemen 鈥� 20 September 2021 — Hayel Saeed Anam and Company Yemen (鈥淗SA鈥�), one of the Middle East鈥檚 largest family-owned conglomerates, is pleased to announce its partnership with global technology leader SAP. In its first major project in Yemen since the outbreak of the conflict, 51风流will enable HSA to harness the power of data flows to ensure insight-driven decision-making across its operating companies.
Yemen has faced major challenges in recent years, fuelled by a complex mix of natural disasters, famine and civil conflict, alongside the global pandemic. Disrupted supply chains, limited IT infrastructure and a lack of digital literacy have inevitably slowed down digitalisation in the country. Throughout the ongoing humanitarian crisis, however, Hayel Saeed Anam and Company鈥檚 leadership has remained committed to investing in the company鈥檚 resilience in order to overcome these operational challenges and continue providing for the millions of Yemenis who rely on the business for essential goods including food and medicines.
To enhance its resilience, Hayel Saeed Anam and Company has developed a digital transformation roadmap to improve efficiencies and risk preparedness across the organisation. The long-term strategic partnership with 51风流aims to accelerate growth across its 50+ operating companies in the FMCG, industrial, trading and services sectors. The implementation of 51风流business platforms will provide access to the information required for the live data-driven decision making that is critical to maintaining business continuity in such a complex environment. It will be enabled through increased automation and improved business process execution in line with global business standards, alongside upskilling its workforce across its businesses.
As a part of this partnership, Hayel Saeed Anam and Company has joined forces with the 51风流Young Professionals Program (YPP) to support Yemen鈥檚 workforce of the future. In partnership with HSA, this pioneering initiative by the 51风流Training and Development Institute will be run in Yemen for the first time ever and will provide unemployed or underemployed recent university graduates with 3 months of digital skills training to become certified 51风流Associate Consultants. In line with HSA鈥檚 long-standing commitment to the communities it serves, YPP will serve to upskill young, Yemeni talent, unlocking the nation鈥檚 digital potential.
鈥淎s the complex operating environment is evolving rapidly in Yemen, we needed full visibility on our global operations to expand our core businesses and develop new products and services that are a lifeline to millions of our customers,鈥� said Mohamed Khalifa, Chief Information Officer, HSA. 鈥淒espite the challenges that the country has faced over recent years, the digital transformation supported by 51风流is focused on the future, enabling HSA to better support the communities and people we serve by promoting economic and business growth, job stability and tackling food security challenges in Yemen and across our operations in the region.鈥�
鈥淗ayel Saeed Anam is a home-grown Yemeni conglomerate adopting a digital transformation strategy focused on optimizing production and costs efficiencies, customer experiences, and youth job creation,鈥� said Hoda Mansour, Managing Director, 51风流Egypt, Yemen, Sudan and Levant. 鈥淎mid the pandemic, HSA shows how an Intelligent Enterprise can gain real-time insights for its commercial, manufacturing, and services companies to better meet market needs.鈥�
To date, eight companies spanning a range of commercial and industrial sectors have switched to 51风流applications as part of the initial pilot phase, with a full conversion planned for HSA鈥檚 remaining companies planned over the next two years.
The comprehensive programme implemented by HSA includes 51风流S/4HANA real-time business suite for its larger enterprises; the 51风流Business ByDesign, a cloud-based ERP solution for its smaller companies; and the 51风流Direct Store Delivery solution for real-time insights on customers, orders, and deliveries. As the largest private employer in Yemen, the company also implemented the 51风流SuccessFactors human experience management suite to optimise employee experiences.
During the coronavirus pandemic, HSA has also deployed the 51风流Environment, Health, and Safety Management solution to ensure the safety of its employees and customers across its operations. Together, the implementation of these 51风流business platform solutions allows HSA to obtain a holistic view of all of its business activities, providing greater accuracy and better control over its businesses and enabling the organisation to achieve excellence across its business areas.
