Qatar's Nakilat implements SAP cloud IT framework

Nakilat (Qatar Gas Transport Company Ltd.), the shipping arm of Qatar’s national liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector, has recently given its IT systems a major overhaul that consolidates the company’s networks into an efficient SAP cloud system.

Nakilat worked with Japanese IT giant Fujitsu to integrate the German-designed SAP HANA cloud system to provide one end-to-end private cloud network capable of scaling with Nakilat’s needs. The goal is the bring the company’s IT systems under one umbrella to create more automated functions and greater efficiency in those systems.

SAP HANA is expected to give Nakilat leaders critical financial and enterprise resource planning reports faster than before, allowing the leaders to make critical business decisions with more up-to-date and detailed information.

By introducing SAP HANA, Nakilat has a more responsive and agile business landscape that can produce critical financial and ERP reports more promptly. It has reduced the resources needed to support the IT system and accelerated the generation of mission-critical business reports.

Nakilat Managing Director Abdullah Al Sulaiti said the company knows that IT integration is a key for future success for big enterprises.

“Today, Nakilat has built its own private cloud and had provided the same capabilities to our joint ventures and are continually looking for solution opportunities to improve,” Al Sulaiti said. “Information technology orientation allows us to anticipate major improvements in IT infrastructure, the manpower to maintain it, and it gives us the future road map to synergize the business processes with the most innovative systems that enable effective decision making and deliver long-term sustainable values.”
