This strategic move provides Alba with a modern, scalable, and high-performance digital platform. It will enable enhanced functionality, an improved user experience, and powerful analytics, all crucial for navigating the evolving industrial landscape.

Commenting on this achievement, Ali Al Baqali, Alba’s Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Our migration to Rise with SAP Private Cloud is more than a technological upgrade; it's a strategic leap forward. This advanced digital infrastructure will not only streamline our operations but more importantly, it will empower our teams with real-time insights, enabling faster, more informed decisions that drive productivity and sustain our competitive edge in the market.”
