Commenting on this signing, Hamed Al Naamany, CEO of Oman LNG, commented: “Oman LNG continues to lead in its digital transformation journey. Having a cloud-based presence is important for any business, and partnering with ITHCA is an integral cornerstone for our digital transformation journey as it eases access to new innovation, promotes knowledge sharing, as well as supports local SME’s to continue developing cloud solutions around Oracle. This agreement is a milestone in itself, and we look forward to continuing the success of our journey."
The MoU ceremony was signed by Mr. Hamed Al Naamany – CEO of Oman LNG, and Eng. Said bin Abdullah Al Manthari, Group CEO, ITHCA.
From his end, Eng. Said Al Manthari- CEO of ITHCA Group- expressed his gratitude to the signing ceremony, where he said: “This agreement is a strategic step to both organisations, where it complements the mutual commitment towards digitalisation. ITHCA’s investment and collaboration with Oracle helps in positioning the Sultanate of Oman as a leading global name in the latest technology trends and Oracle services. Going further, this helps to deploy modern technology, paving the way towards further development and enhancements of the local skills in Information Technology.”
