Doha: Qatar’s leading innovator Umm Al Houl Power, is supporting the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)’s IT market to top $77bn in 2021, global technology company SAP announced yesterday.

Recognizing leadership in innovation and the top digital transformation initiatives, SAP has announced the winners of its SAP Quality Awards for Customer Success 2020. Winning organizations and their channel partners were across three categories: Business Transformation, Fast Delivery, and SAP S/4HANA Move. The awards ceremony was held at the SAP House at Expo 2020 Dubai. As MENA organizations begin to rebound from the pandemic, they are heavily investing in their IT modernization as the foundation of their digital transformation. 

As a result, the region’s IT market is set to top $77bn in 2021, according to a recent report by IDC. The ceremony started with a tour of the 900-meter square SAP House which showcased innovative customer experience solutions from SAP and its partners. This included an immersive tunnel, an interactive gamification of equestrian sports, the PODway platform for people of determination, and SAP Customer Checkout for retail innovation.

“Congratulations to the SAP MENA Quality Awards winners, especially Qatar’s Umm Al Houl for delivering digital transformation and innovation over the past year,” said Bamberger.
