Why focus on the Arab market?

In 2022, we decided to offer our website in Arabic, implement additional marketing measures, and delve deeper into the specific requirements of the Arab market. We knew our guard patrol system could provide genuine value to this region, but it was clear that we first needed to establish our presence there.

COREDINATE and the Saudi Arabia Trip

Last year, my colleague Alan Thornton and I traveled to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to meet potential business partners and explore the country’s culture. This gave us the opportunity to discover the great value COREDINATE® offers to the security sector across the region. We listened, gathered valuable insights, further developed our product, and successfully launched new functionalities.

Organized by trAIDe in cooperation with the Federal Government, the focus of the trip was to support German companies with their market entry in Saudi Arabia. A highlight was the visit to SAFE, the National Security Services Company, and the reception at the German Embassy.

At the Saudi-German Civil Security Congress, we were able to present our guard patrol tour system, generating significant interest, while the visit to SAFE provided insights into the modern security sector. The trip was rounded off by cultural highlights such as the Al Bujairi Heritage Park and the Sky Bridge of the Kingdom Centre, which bid us farewell with breathtaking views.

A Step Toward Agenda 2030

As mentioned in an earlier blog post, Saudi Arabia, through its Agenda 2030, pursues ambitious goals:

  • economic diversification
  • modern cities and a high quality of life

Security and efficiency play a crucial role—whether in public spaces, businesses, or large-scale projects like NEOM, the futuristic city in the desert. Our software supports visions like these by digitizing security processes, enhancing transparency, being easily scalable, and offering an intuitive interface.

We are proud to contribute to achieving these goals with COREDINATE®. Our Patrol Tour System serves as both a tool and a reliable partner for businesses striving to meet the highest standards.

Proud of Our Success in the Arab Market

With our dedication and intensive efforts to adapt our product to the cultural and technical requirements of the Arab market, we were able to secure a renowned client in Saudi Arabia while strengthening our position as a reliable provider of innovative security solutions.

We look forward to expanding collaboration in the region and supporting even more companies with COREDINATE® on their journey to a digital future. The opportunities in the Arab market are as diverse as the visions of the countries themselves—and we are ready to realize them together.

What is Agenda 2030?

The Agenda 2030, also known as Saudi Vision 2030, aims to transform Saudi Arabia economically and socially, reduce dependency on oil, and establish the nation as a global investment hub. For German companies, especially in the security sector, this vision offers immense opportunities due to the demand for technological solutions like guard patrol tour systems to improve efficiency and security across various industries.

Saudi Arabia’s strategic location as a hub between three continents further enhances the potential for expansion into the Middle East market. For businesses, participating in this economic transformation provides an opportunity to establish a strong presence in one of the world’s most dynamic economies.

What is the Saudi Cloud?

Well-known in Arab countries, but for readers from other regions, here’s a brief explanation: Saudi Cloud Computing Co. (SCCC) is a joint venture established in June 2022 to provide cloud computing services in Saudi Arabia. The venture was founded through a partnership between Alibaba Cloud, stc Group, eWTP Arabia Capital, Saudi Company for Artificial Intelligence (SCAI), and Saudi Information Technology Company (SITE).

SCCC offers a variety of cloud services, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). These services are designed to support companies in their digital transformation, enhancing the efficiency and flexibility of their IT infrastructures.

The establishment of SCCC is part of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to strengthen the country’s digital infrastructure and position itself as a regional hub for cloud computing services. This aligns with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, which focuses on diversification and technological innovation.

What does "on premise" mean? 

For those less technically inclined, here’s a brief explanation: The option to run COREDINATE® on premise means that the software is installed and operated directly on a customer’s own servers. This solution provides maximum control and security for companies that place a high value on data protection or local data storage. Alternatively, our customers can run COREDINATE® in the cloud, benefiting from high scalability and flexibility—including the Saudi Cloud, which is specifically tailored to the needs of the region.

What are the benefits of AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a comprehensive cloud platform provided by Amazon, offering a wide range of services for computing, storage, databases, machine learning, analytics, and more.
