- HSA Group successfully completes full digital transformation
and launches industry-leading cloud solutions to ensure continuous
supply of essential goods amid Yemen's challenges
DUBAI, UAE, May 16, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Hayel Saeed Anam
(HSA) Group Yemen, one of the Middle
East's largest family-owned conglomerates, has successfully
undergone a digital transformation in partnership with global
technology company SAP SE (NYSE: SAP). By leveraging the security
provided by SAP cloud-based solutions, HSA Group has increased its
resilience and will ensure continued exceptional service for
customers and staff amid the considerable challenges currently
facing Yemen.
HSA Group has had a partnership with SAP for IT services since
2013, and over the past couple of years, the two parties
collaborated closely on the digital transformation roadmap that saw
the successful migration of HSA's Yemen operations to the cloud in March this
year. The comprehensive project included implementation of
enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution S/4HANA at the group's
larger operations, achieved in collaboration with SAP gold partner
Phoenix Business Consulting and accelerated through the adoption of
RISE with SAP. To bolster the performance of HSA's smaller
operations, SAP Business ByDesign was selected as the ERP system
and was implemented in collaboration with additional SAP
partners.
"HSA Group is committed to supporting the digital transformation
of Yemen and leveraging new
technologies to promote economic growth as well as food and job
security amid challenges brought by the ongoing conflict, famine
and environmental disasters in Yemen," said Managing Director and Board
Member of HSA Group, Nabil Hayel Saeed
Anam. "In this complex and rapidly evolving landscape, the
newly implemented SAP cloud solutions will increase the resilience
of our business and enable full visibility of our global operations
so that we can concentrate on expanding our core businesses and
developing new services and products. Moreover, we are ensuring
that we can continue to meet the needs of millions of Yemenis who
rely on us for essential goods, including food and medicines, and
those who are employed by our companies."
HSA Group is the largest private employer in Yemen, with 20,000 employees, and has also
optimized employee experiences through this digital transformation,
by implementing the SAP SuccessFactors human experience management
suite.
Sergio Maccotta, Senior Vice President and Managing Director,
SAP Middle East and Africa –
South, commented, "This digital transformation project demonstrates
the forward thinking that, over the past 85 years, has earned HSA
Group a strong reputation as a visionary business leader in
Yemen. The implementation of SAP
ERP cloud solutions future-proofs the business by ensuring that it
is scalable, flexible and able to operate in an agile way based on
data-driven decisions in a rapidly evolving environment. Aside from
enjoying 360-degree views of its operations, automation of business
processes, and real-time data insights and analytics, the group's
companies will also benefit from increased efficiencies and lower
costs."
HSA Group was established in 1938 and now operates more than 60
companies across Yemen, all of
which are now using SAP cloud services. The company conducts
business across more than 40 markets, providing goods and services
to communities in the MENA region, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
