Moro Hub, SAP join forces to boost intelligent automation

The initiative will allow government and private entities to unlock new efficiencies with intelligent automation across their mission-critical processes, that will be hosted from state-of-the-art Moro Hub’s data centres, complying with data residency and cyber security requirements of the UAE.

 

The offering will be based on converting clients’ capital expenditures (Capex) to predictive operating expenditure (OPEX), primarily aimed to reduce the total cost of ownership and allowing the businesses to focus on their core operations, and the estimated savings will be 20 to 30 percent for customers.

 

The announcement was made during ‘Shaping the Future with Digital Innovation’ Forum, which Dewa organised in partnership with SAP at Expo 2020 Dubai.

 

It was attended by Christian Klein, Chief Executive Officer and member of the Executive Board of SAP SE, and Saif Humaid AlFalasi, Group CEO, ENOC, and other representation from Dubai Government entities from Roads and Transport Authority, Dubai Digital Authority, Dubai Health Authority, and many others.

 

Al Tayer pointed out that its strategic partnership with SAP began in 2009 when Dewa implemented SAP Wave 1 for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to measure, integrate, and automate all its processes to provide the highest level of service to customers, employees and partners.

 

The relations later extended to Moro Hub. Since 2018, Moro Hub became the Authorised Cloud provider for SAP HEC.

This year Moro Hub has been certified by SAP as RISE partner – the first local provider to be certified in UAE - to offer in-country cloud-based, highly secure SAP services. SAP also supported our largest solar-powered Uptime TIER III-Certified Data Centre in the Middle East and Africa at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai, stated Al Tayer.

"Dewa is helping to shape the future of the UAE over the next 50 years to become the world’s leading nation by its Centennial in 2071. Through Digital Dewa, we are redefining the concept of a utility and contributing to creating a new digital future for Dubai," noted Al Tayer.

 

"This is achieved through four pillars. The First is Solar power which includes launching advanced solar power technologies in Dubai. The second is energy storage. This is where we are deploying a renewable energy grid with innovative energy storage technologies. The Third Pillar is Artificial Intelligence (AI). We will develop AI to make Dubai the first city to provide AI-based electricity and water services. The Final Pillar is Digital Services," he explained.

 

This pillar expands our use of digital services through three subsidiary companies of our Moro Hub, InfraX, and DigitalX. Dubai, which started its digital transformation journey 20 years ago, steadily continues its innovation journey to become the smartest and happiest city in the world," he added.
