SAP Arabia said it won 20 new clients in the Middle East in 2005 including five customer win-backs: IDB, Magrabi and Talaat Mostafa which were using Oracle solutions and Gulf News and Al Gurg which were using JD Edwards solutions. in 2005 for region middle east, SAP added new clients to its existing portfolio including Oman Polypropylene, EMKE Group, Al Gurg, ETA Ascon, Islamic Development Bank, Mobica, JASCO, SAPHAD, SMSA FedEx amongst others.Once implemented SAP’s Core Banking solution will manage the funds, loans and projects distributed by the bank while SAP Business Suite will manage back office operations. Up until now IDB has run its operations using Oracle’s Financials software along with solutions from other vendors. It will take around three years for the multi million-dollar implementation of SAP’s Core Banking solution and Business Suite solutions, which will be run on an IBM platform. Islamic Development Bank (IDB) has embarked on a massive project to replace its existing banking systems with an all-encompassing SAP solution.
