Moro Hub, a subsidiary of Digital DEWA – the digital arm of DEWA, announced its partnership with SAP to accelerate intelligent automation at government and private organisations.
The initiative will be hosted from state-of-the-art Moro Hub’s data centres and will promote Dubai’s position as a global hub for digital technologies
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 – the estimated savings will be 20 to 30 percent for customers.
“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,” said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.
“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. This pillar expands our use of digital services through three subsidiary companies of our Moro Hub, InfraX, and DigitalX,” he explained.
The UAE occupies an advanced position in the Global Innovation Index and adopts the latest innovative technological solutions in all key areas, according to Al Tayer.
The strategic partnership between DEWA and SAP began in 2009 when DEWA implemented SAP Wave 1 for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to measure, integrate, and automate all DEWA’s processes to provide the highest level of service to its 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 the 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.
“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,” said Al Tayer.
