Strategic Partnerships
“A partnership’s vision is a description of the ideal future that it will work to achieve over time and provides both guidance and inspiration to the group. It encompasses how things would look if the issues or problems that brought the partners together were successfully addressed.”
Hatem Abdulhalim Elkady
Chief Partnerships and Synergies Officer
In a year of successes that surpassed any other in our 25-year history, solutions by stc forged new industry partnerships and alliances which have added dynamic new dimensions to our business.
They have provided us with even more scope to reach additional markets, in terms of both territory and technology, continuing our ongoing strategy of bold but sustainable expansion. With an even greater spectrum of products, services, and expertise, solutions by stc will play an essential role in the digital future of businesses in the Middle East and Africa. Our primary focus in 2023 centered on new and emerging technologies, particularly cyber security, data and artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and new business models. Working with many of our new partners, we have made significant inroads into those fields, creating a major impact on businesses across the region, that have more opportunities to reach new markets, expand their customer base, and increase brand visibility.
Strengthening Strategic Alliances in 2023
Our partnerships in 2023 were truly global, as we aligned ourselves with some of the most successful and best- known ICT businesses in their fields. In an exclusive partnership with San Francisco-based SingleStore, the premier database and real-time data analytics service, we were appointed as their exclusive distributor across the market in the Middle East.
A Memorandum of Understanding was agreed with GENESYS to deliver digital solutions and develop client experience products using cloud technology. Highlighting its ambition to provide customers with every aspect of digital integration, solutions by stc signed a further MoU with the Saudi E-sports Federation and the Saudi Arabian Industrial Investments Company (Dussur) to develop solutions in outsourcing, human capital management, and training.
As part of our ongoing contributions to Saudi Vision 2030, we partnered with the National Center for Government Resources to enable digital transformation. As part of its strategy to establish a greater presence in other markets, the Company signed a contract with Nile Secure to provide enterprise network technology to accelerate digital transformation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and Egypt.
Furthermore, a collaboration with Samsung to drive digital transformation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has given us the opportunity to provide secure, fast, and reliable communications to meet the requirements of this ever-growing market.
In an additional drive towards incorporating artificial intelligence in regional businesses, we formed an exclusive partnership with Uniphore, an enterprise- class multimodal AI and data platform which unifies all elements of voice, video, text, and data.
