The Challenge

Outdated, Siloed Government IT

Legacy systems and disconnected IT infrastructure slowed the adoption of emerging technologies and digital transformation initiatives.

Inefficient Data Centers

Existing data centers lacked efficiency, scalability, and resilience needed to support national digital economy ambitions.

Limited Interoperability

Fragmented systems prevented seamless data exchange and hindered cross-ministry digital modernization efforts.

Our Approach

AI-Powered Enterprise Automation

Migrated ministry functions to AI-powered enterprise automation platforms, streamlining licensing, approvals, and citizen service workflows.

Watson.ai, Camunda, Process Automation

Hybrid Multi-Cloud Architecture

Adopted hybrid and multi-cloud architectures combining STC Cloud, AWS, Azure, and GCP to reinforce sovereignty while enabling elastic scaling.

STC Cloud, AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes

Green Data Center Infrastructure

Built optimized green data centers with energy-efficient compute, liquid cooling, and sustainability telemetry aligned with Saudi Green Initiative.

Energy-Efficient Compute, Liquid Cooling, Telemetry

Unified Security & Integration

Established unified data exchange, security layers, and Zero-Trust architecture across all ministry systems with comprehensive IAM and API management.

Keycloak IAM, Zero-Trust, Kong API Gateway
