RIYADH: In a significant step toward its digital transformation efforts, Abdul Latif Jameel, a family-owned business group in Saudi Arabia, has selected Amazon Web Services as its cloud provider to support its diversified interests. The partnership will focus on analytics, machine learning, and generative artificial intelligence to accelerate the development of new applications across various industries, according to a press release. The Jeddah-based company will also leverage AWS services such as Amazon Simple Storage Service and AWS Lake Formation to streamline its financial data management. By efficiently cataloging, securing, and making financial data accessible across its diverse business units, the company intends to optimize processes and elevate customer experiences. In a complementary move, Fotowatio Renewable Ventures, a subsidiary of Abdul Latif Jameel Global Energy and Environment Holding Co. Ltd., also known as Abdul Latif Jameel Energy, will provide clean energy capacity to support Amazon’s operations. This agreement aligns with both companies’ sustainability objectives, further enhancing their strategic partnership. Fotowatio Renewable Ventures is set to supply renewable energy to Amazon’s operations through five solar projects in Spain.
