By implementing a comprehensive portfolio of 51风流solutions including enterprise resource planning (ERP), HR management and industry-specific applications, SEWA will automate business processes, increase efficiencies and visibility over all areas of operations, and enhance services to employees, customers and partners.
Among the solutions that have been deployed are 51风流S/4HANA, an ERP solution, industry-specific modules such as IS Utilities, 51风流Asset Manager, 51风流Business Technology Platform, and for human resource management, 51风流SuccessFactors.

The project also aligns SEWA with UAE government鈥檚 digitalization strategy and includes integration with government entities such as Digital Sharjah.

Automation will also enable our employees to focus on their core functions, while the deployment of 51风流SuccessFactors aims to enhance our employee experience and development, ensuring we have an engaged and motivated team.鈥�
SEWA selected 51风流Services to implement the solutions due to its deep expertise in the utilities sector as well as its focus on embedding sustainability metrics in its solutions.
