As digital transformation takes center stage in Saudi Arabia, Software AG's "Super iPaaS" that unifies and simplifies the integration of applications, devices, data and cloud, underscores a pivotal shift towards enhanced connectivity and efficiency in the public sector.

This innovative integration suite, meeting evolving demands of connected digital services, serves as a cornerstone for nationwide organizations, with its unified interface facilitating seamless global governance, marking a significant leap forward.

Rami Kichli, Senior Vice President of Software AG Middle East and Turkiye, emphasized its importance at last week's LEAP event, aligning with Vision 2030's digital aspirations.

A recently published report by the General Authority for Statistics highlighted that Saudi Arabia's digital economy contributes a significant 14 percent to the nation’s GDP. The Kingdom strives to boost this contribution by expanding access to digital services across all key sectors to enhance productivity and efficiency and provide improved experiences for service beneficiaries.

"As Saudi Arabia is on its ambitious journey to transform its public sector, the significance of digital integration cannot be stated enough; it is compulsory for the prosperity and efficiency of our public services," added Kichli. “Software AG's Super iPaaS is a testament to the company's dedication to seamless, interconnected government operations and services that adapt to evolving expectations of citizens and residents."

Super iPaaS bridges integration gaps, vital for modernizing legacy systems in the public sector. Kichli noted its relevance in Saudi Arabia, where complex systems need seamless communication with cloud-based applications.

Software AG continues to invest in growing its presence with its regional HQ in the country in the final stages of establishment and its expanding annual youth skill-building Future Disruptors Program (FDP), reflecting a commitment to Saudi Arabia’s digital ambitions. This edition saw 26 universities engaging 1,000 students across 356 teams, and the winning team from Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University Saudi Arabia reflected innovation by the young talent in digital transformation.

Kichli noted that several regional organizations encounter technical and regulatory hurdles in digital transformation. Focusing on Super iPaaS and its broader suite of digital transformation - business transformation and IoT - the company aims to enable agile, secure integration across data, processes, and people for enhanced citizen engagement.

With over five decades of experience and over a decade in the region, Software AG has forged partnerships with key Saudi entities, including the Ministry of Tourism, to enhance e-visa services, contributing to a 65% surge in tourism in 2023. The company also collaborated with the Public Transport Company (PTC), the National Real Estate Registration Services company (RER), including the Human Resources Development Fund, CITC, and STC, driving public service transformation in Saudi Arabia.

"Saudi Arabia's drive for public sector innovation heightens our role as strategic allies in the nation's digital journey," concluded Kichli.
