Telecom (ST) is currently serving more than eight million
customers in fixed network and mobile services. Since its
privatization in 1998, ST has challenged itself by setting its
objective to build more infrastructure in four years than what was
built in the previous 30 years.
Saudi Systems Corporation (SSC)
became ST's strategic partner in its e-business enterprises and
consequently, in ST's continued growth and development.As the joint-venture partner of
Oracle in Saudi Arabia, SSC successfully implemented the following
projects with ST:

licenses, technical support and training.
- Implementation and customization of
Oracle e-Business suite of applications.
- Implementation of Oracle Financial
Analyzer System.
- Operation and maintenance of the
Business Support Systems (BSS)
- Supervising all implementations of
new Oracle Applications in ST carried out by major
international firms.

Support System
Using Oracle E-Business Applications, SSC is the only vendor in the
Kingdom that manages the technical and business aspects of ST's
Business Support Systems (ST-BSS) division.

considered as one of the major IT support projects in the Kingdom and
in the entire Middle East region. It is the largest Oracle e-Business
project outside the US with 550 secured licenses.
SSC currently deploys 28 of its
highly-qualified IT professionals to handle the technical activities
throughout the ST-BSS division.

employees and 450 customer-service locations Kingdom-wide. All of

comparisons, SSC can be shown as the provider of the most reliable and

regional marketplace.
Technology Transfer

training of ST manpower. SSC has been regularly conducting series of
training courses for them. SSC does this via surveys in order to
define the vital skills required for each individual user.

ST employees to become self sufficient and capable in handling their
day-to-day operations.
