Bahrain Airport Company (BAC) has become first in the Kingdom to implement Oracle Soar, a programme designed to help businesses migrate applications to the cloud. The deal, BAC said, will support its transition to Oracle Fusion, a suite of new software applications that will improve efficiency and automate key business processes.
To mark the occasion, BAC held a ceremony attended by top management, including Chief Executive Officer Mohamed Yousif Al Binfalah, Oracle management, and key users. Al Binfalah, Vice President of Information and Communications Technology, Najwa Abdulrahim; Vice President of Human Resources, Hind Mahmood, Vice President of Finance, Krishnan Manjapara and Acting Manager of Procurement, Khalid Al Haddad received certificates of appreciation for helping to ensure the successful delivery of the project.
Al Binfalah said: “Adapting to this cloud-based solution will play a key role in standardising and streamlining the Company’s human capital management, procurement, finance, consolidation and reporting processes while offering a modern user experience for Gulf Air Group Holding (GFG), BAC, Hala Bahrain, Bahrain Jet Fuel Company, and Gulf Handling Company.”
Oracle Fusion is now the sole tool for all BAC employees to submit requests, eliminating the need for paperwork, and streamlining the approval process. Oracle Soar helps users shift to the cloud with time and cost reductions of up to 30 per cent. It also provides faster time to value, reduced risk, and increased transparency.
Earlier this year, BAC migrated its server to Amazon Web Services, positioning it alongside a growing number of Bahrain government entities shifting to the cloud platform.
