RAK E-Government Authority finishes its first stage of the cloud transformation project

RAS AL KHAIMAH, United Arab Emirates — The Ras Al Khaimah e-Government Authority (EGA) has finished the first stage of a cloud transformation project supported by global technology company SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) to modernize its systems, increase efficiencies and reduce total cost of ownership, while ultimately enhancing government services delivered to citizens and residents.

EGA has implemented RISE with SAP to experience the benefits of cloud computing at an accelerated pace while reducing cyber risks. To ensure business continuity, the project is taking place in two phases. The first phase, completed in December 2022, included upgrading the current SAP core ERP solution to S/4HANA, while migrating from on-premise servers to the RISE-managed cloud. The second phase, which started in January 2023, involves migrating all other SAP systems to the cloud with RISE, while providing the new available offerings from SAP to the users, first and foremost SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) and the SAP Analytics Cloud.

Eng. Ahmed Saeed Al Sayyah, EGA General Manager, explained, “This cloud transformation project is aligned with the UAE’s focus on leveraging technological advances as well as RAK and the Electronic Government Authority’s vision and values. Cloud computing enhances our ability to provide smart services and
