Manama, Bahrain: Beyon has entered into a partnership with LigaData, a pioneering data analytics and cloud company based in Silicon Valley, California, to develop a cutting-edge Data Lakehouse which will serve as a centralised repository for all of Beyon Group’s data. The strategic initiative is designed to future proof Beyon’s data infrastructure while leveraging the many benefits of advanced cloud technologies.

The partnership was signed by Beyon Chief Technology Officer Saurabh Gupta and LigaData CEO Bassel Ojjeh at Beyon’s Headquarters in Hamala, Bahrain. Beyon CEO Mikkel Vinter, Batelco Chief Technology Officer Rashed Mohamed, LigaData COO Khaled Jaouni and other senior executives from both parties were also in attendance at the signing event.
