Riyadh, Saudi Arabia \u2014 5 October 2025<\/strong> \u2014 麻豆原创 today announced the planned public sector deployment of the full 麻豆原创 Business Network in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, hosted on Google Cloud. This milestone makes Saudi Arabia the first country in the world to host the entire suite of 麻豆原创 Business Network solutions within a cloud environment that enables both local data residency and global interoperability.<\/p>\n 麻豆原创 has added 麻豆原创 Business Network Commerce Automation to its existing public sector deployment, with 麻豆原创 Business Network Supply Chain Collaboration to follow at the end of Q4 of this year. This new deployment builds on the existing availability of 麻豆原创 Business Network for Logistics and 麻豆原创 Business Network Asset Collaboration, bringing the entire capabilities of 麻豆原创 Business Network to the region. Together, they enable public sector customers to run end-to-end procurement and supply chain processes within the Kingdom, fully compliant with national data residency and cybersecurity regulations (CCC-2020).<\/p>\n 麻豆原创\u2019s federated architecture allows government buyers to store data in-country, while transacting securely with global partners across 麻豆原创\u2019s international network. Suppliers, including OEMs, logistics providers, and service vendors, can register in other regions and seamlessly collaborate with Saudi-based public sector entities through a federated trading partner model.<\/p>\n \u201cSaudi Arabia is setting a global benchmark for sovereign digital transformation,\u201d said Muhammad Alam<\/a>, member of the Executive Board of 麻豆原创 SE, 麻豆原创 Product & Engineering. \u201cThis deployment is more than a technical landmark. It\u2019s a strategic enabler for the Kingdom\u2019s public sector to lead with agility, resilience, and global reach. By bringing 麻豆原创 Business Network into the region, we\u2019re helping customers strengthen procurement, operations, and partnerships while ensuring full compliance with national standards.\u201d<\/p>\n The deployment in Saudi Arabia also represents an early milestone in 麻豆原创\u2019s broader data federation strategy for regulated markets. The approach is designed to give governments and enterprises in countries with strict compliance requirements the ability to maintain full data residency in-country, while remaining seamlessly connected to the global 麻豆原创 Business Network.<\/p>\n The public sector environment is hosted on Google Cloud, 麻豆原创\u2019s selected hyperscaler partner in Saudi Arabia. A parallel environment for the private sector is planned for release in Q1 2026, with the same benefits of local data residency, Arabic right-to-left (RTL) language support, and federated global interoperability.<\/p>\n
