ASGC, one of the leading construction groups in the UAE, has inked a strategic partnership deal with UAE telecom giant Etisalat for provision of enterprise level cloud solutions combined with its secure managed IP connect service to the company.

This comes as part of the Emirati construction group's digital transformation roadmap, said a top official.

"We’ve selected Etisalat and their OneCloud Services as it perfectly meets our needs from scalability, flexibility, reliability and performance perspectives while at the same time offering the most attractive ROI among the cloud vendors that we’ve analysed," noted Herbert Fuchs, the chief information officer at ASGC.

 “Etisalat’s OneCloud platform represents one of the foundations in our digital transformation roadmap which spans across all aspects of our business – ranging from the IT operations and service delivery to cross departmental core business process automation onwards to construction asset optimisation as well as labor productivity and labor safety aspects,” he added.

Etisalat said its OneCloud offers a wide range of cloud solutions designed to satisfy security, performance and data location needs of UAE enterprises.

This end-to-end managed cloud solution includes infrastructure-as-a-service, managed security services, managed backup, managed applications and managed disaster recovery services, it stated.
