Salam, a leading Saudi telecom provider, has awarded Oracle a managed services agreement to support its ongoing digital transformation.
The collaboration will help Salam expedite operational excellence and enhance the experience it provides customers. These efforts will also further Salam’s contributions to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 mission, which includes making Saudi Arabia a more connected and digitized nation.
Oracle Communications Consulting will provide critical support and guidance for managed IT operations, performance management, and service quality improvement. Using an Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-focused approach, Oracle will help Salam increase operational efficiencies, proactively identify and address potential issues, and enable seamless service delivery to its end customers.
Salam recently implemented components of Oracle Cloud Scale Monetization and Oracle Unified Operations, plus Oracle Sales CRM, to replace its legacy systems with a modular pre-integrated stack. This integration helps avoid the costly and time-consuming process of complex integrations with a high level of customization. With Oracle, Salam can launch, orchestrate, and monetize new offerings as the market demands. Future phases will take advantage of other Oracle Communications solutions to fast-track new digital services, such as 5G-enabled streaming, AR/VR gaming, and IoT-connected devices.
