SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) executives in Amman have said that Jordan’s IT market will continue to develop due to strategic investment by the government alongside public and private companies.

The Government of Jordan’s national e-Government initiative is designed to drive the nation’s transformation into a knowledge-based society founded on a competitive and dynamic economy. As part of efforts to transform its society, economy, and government, Jordan is pursuing a national e-Government strategy that aims to invest heavily in IT as part of its goal to diversify the country’s economic and social development.
The role of SAP in this developing market is to support the country’s IT sector to strengthen this growth, in light of world-wide economic challenges, say senior SAP executives meeting with customers today in Amman.

“Jordanian companies can utilize IT investments to improve efficiencies and operations, to be able to respond rapidly to changes in the global business landscape and ensure future success,” said Sergio Maccotta, Managing Director, SAP Middle East & North Africa (MENA).

“SAP continues to offer solutions designed to help address the challenges that are continuing to emerge on an international scale," continued Maccotta.

SAP’s ‘Best-Run Now’ initiative offers the Jordanian companies combined SAP software, services and implementation. The initiative aims to help customers address real-time business issues, including more efficient management of information on cash flow and liquidity, maximizing a global workforce through change, and how to optimize procurement and supply chain processes.

Each of these can be easily consumed to deliver rapid return on investment and operational improvements, and focus on issues that companies everywhere are facing due to global market environments.
