“In today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape, embracing partnerships with leading global technology providers, and enabling their localisation have become a key priority for businesses and governments,” said Mansoor Al Mansoori, Chairman, Injazat.
“This partnership is a testament to our commitment to meeting this need while continuing to spearhead innovation in digital transformation for the UAE government.”
Injazat CEO Ussama Dahabiyeh further noted that the deal builds on their long-standing partnership with the global tech giant.
“We are proud to partner with Oracle to develop Injazat’s Dedicated Region to provide customers with key Oracle services they have depended on for years, now enhanced through a cloud platform that abides by local laws and regulations,” said Ussama Dahabiyeh.
He added, “With this partnership, Injazat is reaffirming its role as a key national digital transformation player thanks to its comprehensive offerings that include multi-cloud, system integration, platform development, cybersecurity, and venture expertise.”
Nick Redshaw, Senior Vice President, Tech Cloud, and UAE country leader, Oracle, reiterated the company’s commitment to enable Abu Dhabi and the UAE in achieving their development goals by leveraging the latest cloud-powered digital technologies.
“After establishing two public cloud regions in the UAE in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, we now want to explore a collaboration with Injazat to help its customers gain access to the most flexible and innovative cloud solutions that meet the most demanding data residency requirements.
