Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority and Âé¶¹Ô´´ embark on innovative roadmap and comprehensive digital transformation strategy
DUBAI, UAE — 23 November, 2023 — Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA) has announced its successful digital transformation powered by global technology company . By implementing a comprehensive portfolio of Âé¶¹Ô´´ solutions including enterprise resource planning (ERP), HR management and industry-specific applications, SEWA will automate business processes, increase efficiencies and visibility over all areas of operations, and enhance services to employees, customers and partners.

Among the solutions that have been deployed are Âé¶¹Ô´´ S/4HANA, an ERP solution, industry-specific modules such as IS Utilities, Âé¶¹Ô´´ Asset Manager, Âé¶¹Ô´´ Business Technology Platform, and for human resource management, Âé¶¹Ô´´ SuccessFactors. As the first utilities organization in the UAE running live on Âé¶¹Ô´´ S/4HANA, the implementation was exceptionally accelerated. In line with this, SEWA – supported by Âé¶¹Ô´´ Services – achieved the fastest implementation of the Âé¶¹Ô´´ Model Company for Utilities throughout the Middle East and Africa. The project also aligns SEWA with UAE government’s digitalization strategy and includes integration with government entities such as Digital Sharjah.
H.E. Abdullah Abdul Rahman Muhammad Obaid Al Shamsi, Director-General of SEWA, commented, “The digital transformation is in line with SEWA’s motto of being ‘reliable, efficient and sustainable’ in all our actions. Leveraging Âé¶¹Ô´´â€™s advanced technologies and global best industry practices, this transformation ensures we continue to enhance our services, increase efficiency, and attain the highest possible quality and safety standards. The benefits of real-time reporting, reduced month-end closing time, and automating processes to ensure bill accuracy and provide a seamless mobile experience, including app-based meter reading, will benefit our customers directly. Automation will also enable our employees to focus on their core functions, while the deployment of Âé¶¹Ô´´ SuccessFactors aims to enhance our employee experience and development, ensuring we have an engaged and motivated team.â€
SEWA selected Âé¶¹Ô´´ Services to implement the solutions due to its deep expertise in the utilities sector as well as its focus on embedding sustainability metrics in its solutions. Executives from SEWA and Âé¶¹Ô´´ announced the successful deployment during this week’s WETEX event, the region’s largest sustainability and clean energy technology exhibition.
Sergio Maccotta, Senior Vice President Âé¶¹Ô´´ Middle East and Africa – South, commented, “Âé¶¹Ô´´ worked very closely with the SEWA team to create an innovative roadmap and transformation strategy, which will realize immediate benefits by delivering a smarter experience for customers and employees.  With this digital transformation, SEWA has positioned itself for success in an increasingly data-driven and customer-centric world, in alignment with the UAE’s digital transformation goals.â€
