Arkan secures bronze at SAP awards

Dubai, November 20, 2011

UAE- based Arkan Building Materials has secured bronze in the new business application category at the recent SAP Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Quality Awards in Madrid, Spain.

Quality Awards celebrate customers that use SAP quality principles to effectively manage software implementations marked by multifaceted technical and business process requirements; excel in execution and deliver significant benefits; and achieve fast, low-cost implementations to accommodate today's demands for rapid realisation of return on investment.

Arkan Building Materials was singled out for implementing a comprehensive suite of process-enhancing software solutions in five months, demonstrating excellent project management and execution, rapid time to value and the ability to effectively address the requirements of the business while minimising complexity, a statement from the company said.

The company competed against a field of local gold winners from various countries across EMEA and assessed by an expert judging panel comprising SAP partners, industry experts and former SAP Quality Awards winners.

“SAP is integral to our vision of creating a large and influential integrated building products business that serves both local and regional construction industries,” said Dimitri Stephanou, vice president, information systems, Arkan Building Materials.

“SAP’s software solutions have been central to that philosophy and has had a significant impact on the way we conduct our business, markedly increasing our transparency and continually inspiring the vision we need to reach the next level,” he said.

Established in 2005, Arkan Building Materials is 51 per cent owned by General Holding Corporation, an entity wholly owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi to promote sustainable industrial activity in Abu Dhabi, and the remaining 49 per cent of shares are listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Market (ADX). – TradeArabia News Service
