Diriyah Advances with SAP Cloud Solutions

Diriyah Company, the force behind Saudi Arabia’s 14 sq km cultural and lifestyle destination, has successfully deployed SAP Private Cloud Solutions, signifying a pivotal step in its digital transformation journey.
This development is set to enhance the services offered to visitors, residents, partners, and employees alike. Leveraging advanced cloud computing, the initiative provides a comprehensive 360-degree view of operations, streamlining processes and enabling agile, data-driven decision-making.
As one of Saudi Arabia’s most ambitious urban development projects, Diriyah now benefits from a robust, scalable, and future-proof technological framework. This transformation includes SAP ERP Private Cloud for secure migration of core business processes, specialised modules tailored for real estate operations, and SAP SuccessFactors for human resources management. Additional deployments include SAP Ariba for procurement and the SAP Business Technology Platform, facilitating innovation in data management, analytics, integration, and automation.
Group CEO Jerry Inzerillo remarked, “Our collaboration with SAP has been a cornerstone of this transformative phase. SAP’s innovative solutions have empowered us to optimise operations and deliver an enhanced experience for all stakeholders.”
CTO Michael Ibbitson highlighted the significance of the achievement, stating, “This milestone in our partnership with SAP represents a leap forward in cloud technology adoption. Fully hosted in Saudi Arabia, the infrastructure is designed to navigate the complexities of one of the world’s largest urban developments with agility and precision.”
SAP has supported Diriyah since the project’s inception, and this deployment underscores their shared commitment to innovation. Hans-Peter Fülle, Chief Business Officer for SAP EMEA, expressed pride in the collaboration, stating, “By integrating SAP’s advanced solutions, Diriyah has set a new benchmark for operational efficiency and future-ready development. These achievements align perfectly with its vision to become a global cultural and tourism icon.”
Diriyah Company’s adoption of a digital-first approach equips it to manage the immense scale of its projects while addressing the evolving needs of its stakeholders. This technological transformation reinforces its position as a premier developer in the Kingdom, poised to contribute to Saudi Arabia’s broader vision of economic and cultural growth.
