SAP will present “The Digital Challenge” at Cairo ICT 2021, including 5G and Multi-G networks, the hyper-scale revolution, cloud technologies and DevOps, the Industrial Internet of Things, augmented and virtual reality, zero trust architecture, and cybersecurity.
“The Digital Challenge for Egypt is how the public and private sectors can align with Egypt Vision 2030 and leverage the latest cloud solutions to built end-to-end digital economies, sustainable cities, and circular economies,” said Mohammed Samy, Managing Director, SAP Egypt.
SAP will demonstrate technology solutions in ten categories throughout the event: healthcare, agriculture, education, space, retail, advertising, entertainment, sports, property and construction, and museums. At the 8th Payment and Digital Inclusion Expo, SAP also focuses on financial technologies (PAFIX).
According to global technology corporation SAP, Egypt’s government-led digital transformation is the top technological trend, boosting business and innovatively taking citizen services to a new level.
According to a recent Oxford Economics and SAP survey of 3,000 senior executives from around the world, more than four-fifths (89 percent) of public sector senior executives think that data sharing helps them enhance how they communicate with citizens.
The top three lessons that distinguish a digital “have” from a digital “have-not” in the public sector are:
1. Employee and citizen experiences will close the gap with the public sector.
Egypt’s public sector will continue to pioneer data-driven innovation to improve user experiences thanks to government initiatives such as Egypt Vision 2030.
According to the survey, 89 percent of public sector leaders believe data sharing improves their ability to connect with citizens, 83 percent believe data sharing improves their ability to innovate existing products or services, and 82 percent believe data sharing helps them meet or exceed performance goals.
Egypt’s Ministry of Finance, in collaboration with IBM and E-Tax, a subsidiary of the Ministry, is using SAP technology to fully automate its fundamental taxing system. The Ministry’s goals are to simplify tax administration, increase tax administration performance, digitalize the Egyptian Tax Authority, and promote Egypt’s economic growth.
2. Data insights will point the way toward actionable insights.
Organizations can use real-time data insights to improve operational efficiency and create robust policies. Before sharing citizen data, government organizations must first define the data’s broader aims, obtain end-user consent, and understand how sharing the data both internally and with third parties can deliver new levels of citizen services. Internally, 81 percent of public sector respondents effectively shared staff data and 74 percent effectively shared citizen data.
Elaraby Hospital and HO Group’s United Company of Pharmacists in healthcare, Abou Ghaly Motors and Toyota Egypt in automotive, and the Hayel Saeed Anam and Company (HSA) conglomerate that operates in Egypt and Yemen are among the Egyptian companies that are implementing real-time solutions to transform customer experiences.
3. Digital skills capabilities will streamline and expand mission-critical services.
Many Egyptian and Middle Eastern companies have already embraced collaboration and flexible work arrangements to improve employee satisfaction. However, there is more that can be done to improve staff skillsets and cross-departmental collaboration. 61 percent of respondents mentioned a skills shortage as a hindrance to meeting strategic change efforts.
The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, and SAP have graduated two more groups of Egyptian youth from SAP’s flagship digital skills-building program, the SAP Young Professional Program, already in 2021, to support Egypt’s future workforce.
