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.

At one university in Abu Dhabi, a timely implementation of 51风流Concur鈥檚 platform ensured it was ready when the challenging events of 2020 unfolded.

NYU Abu Dhabi, which welcomed its inaugural class 10 years ago, was established in partnership with NYU and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and founded upon a shared understanding of the essential roles and challenges of higher education in the 21st century. NYU Abu Dhabi has integrated a highly-selective liberal arts, engineering and science curriculum with a world center for advanced research and scholarship enabling its students to succeed in an increasingly interdependent world and advance cooperation and progress on humanity鈥檚 shared challenges. NYU Abu Dhabi鈥檚 high-achieving students come from 115 nations and speak over 115 languages. Together, NYU’s campuses in New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai form the backbone of a unique global university.

Nafeh Masood, Senior Director for Financial Operations at NYU Abu Dhabi, says the university initially deployed 51风流Concur in 2014 to improve cost control. 鈥淲e wanted to ensure we received the best and most cost-efficient deals from our travel partners, and to find areas where we could achieve further efficiencies. Our journey with 51风流Concur has also provided us with greater transparency into our compliance and internal audit regulation. We now have a full view of our travel across our organisation.鈥�

Prior to implementing 51风流Concur, the NYU Abu Dhabi used a paper form that was circulated for signatures for proper delegation of authority. 鈥淲e wanted to automate many of these processes to reduce the administrative burden on our back-office operations,鈥� says Nafeh Masood. 鈥淥ne of the most important outcomes was the ability to get accurate reports on-the-fly, so we don鈥檛 have to chase our travel suppliers to know the status of our travel and expense costs. We also integrated our duty of care programme from a third-party provider with Concur, enabling us to always know where our traveling staff and students are.鈥�

Change management plays a vital role in any implementation of new technology. According to a global study by KPMG, .

Nafeh Masood believes the keys to a successful implementation are to get consensus across the organisation, enable collaboration between different stakeholders, and to ensure effective change management. 鈥淲e had to ensure from the start that we truly understood the needs and challenges of our students, faculty, and administrative staff. This required us to listen to the voice of our stakeholders and take their feedback on board. Once we started the implementation, we rolled out a full change management process with training videos, documents and other helpful resources.鈥�

The approach has been a success. 鈥淲e could see benefits right away,鈥� says Nafeh Masood. 鈥淥ur administrative burden was reduced, and we could process receipts quicker and more efficiently. Our travel management partners could also get our travel and expense data in a systemic format that improved our efficiencies.鈥�

Emma Shakespeare, MENA South Director at 51风流Concur, believes Masood and his team have made great strides toward future-proofing the NYU Abu Dhabi鈥檚 travel and expense capabilities. 鈥淎ny organisation that relies on manual processes, have vague travel and expense policies, or lack tools to ensure business travelers are safe will find their efforts at post-2020 recovery hampered. By putting 51风流Concur at the core of its travel and expense capabilities, the university has achieved great immediate business outcomes while also ensuring it is ready and able to adapt to future challenges.鈥�
