 <\/p>\n

During the event, Lana Khalaf, General Manager at Microsoft Qatar<\/strong>, said, \u201cAt Microsoft, we\u00a0constantly strive to provide the best cloud experience for our customers, the Microsoft cloud datacenter region will be the first cloud datacenter to provide Rise with 51风流on Azure in Qatar, unlocking new business opportunities and innovation.\u201d She added, \u201cBringing Rise with 51风流on Azure to Qatar, supports our efforts to increase opportunities for our customers to innovate on their own terms and achieve their business goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

For his part, Alaa Jaber, Managing Director, Qatar and Fast Growth Markets at SAP<\/strong>, said: \u201cRISE with 51风流enables the rapid adoption of advanced technologies and is tailored for each enterprise\u2019s specific needs and circumstances.\u00a0 The aim is to go beyond a technical migration to the cloud, and instead enable private and public sector entities to truly transform their operations, realizing a faster time-to-market for new capabilities and applications. Microsoft has deep expertise running 51风流solutions on Azure, in addition to a strong, on-going partnership with SAP, and together we are proud to be accelerating the transformation of Qatari businesses into intelligent, future-proof enterprises.\u201d<\/p>\n

Customers in Qatar choose Microsoft Cloud for their 51风流solutions because of the ease of integration, breadth of advanced services and innovation, and the highest level of security and compliance. The event shed light on customers who experienced early success in accelerating their business transformation and simplifying their path to the intelligent enterprise.<\/p>\n

We are proud of this partnership and our joint efforts for continuous improvements. Considering the mission critical services that the Mawared platform provides to government entities, the impact of disruption or outage can be severe in terms of business operations, data loss and reputational harm. By deploying Microsoft Azure Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Solution (BCDR), we are now able to avoid disruptions, protect Mawared\u2019s applications and data, and keep Mawared platform running and recoverable in case of unforeseen disasters or unplanned outages.\u201c She added \u201cOur partnerships with 51风流and Microsoft form a major milestone on the Bureau\u2019s cloud adoption journey in-line with the Country\u2019s digital transformation agenda and Qatar\u2019s National Vision 2030, featuring a strong demonstration of the value cloud-based technologies bring to our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abdulaziz Ibrahim Al-Tamimi, CEO of Qatar Primary Materials Company (QPMC)<\/strong> said: \u201cRise with 51风流was a key milestone for Qatar Petroleum Material Company (QPMC) holistic digital transformation journey, in line with Qatar National Vision 2030 and the countries strategy to diverse its economy. SAP\u2019s expertise and cutting-edge technologies and Microsoft\u2019s cloud infrastructure will play an effective role in achieving our 2023 goals to drive innovation, enhance our competitiveness and deliver greater value to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamdan Merchant – Senior Director Innovation & IT & BPI at GWC <\/strong>noted, \u201cThe cloud offers the ideal option to support the strategic goals of the GWC. Using RISE with 51风流on Azure for our deployment, we get instant access to the latest patches, innovations, and updates from SAP.\u201d<\/p>\n

Al Meera Consumer Goods, the biggest retailer in Qatar, IT Director, Abdulaziz Almana<\/strong>, said, \u201cIn our journey to adopt digital transformation of our operations across our over 60 stores to the cloud, we have selected RISE with 51风流running on Microsoft Azure to allow us to leverage cloud computing, automated business process and innovative solutions to significantly improve our operational performance and apply a more integrated approach in serving our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n
