Omantel has announced a strategic collaboration with Kingsoft to explore the development of a sovereign productivity software hosted entirely on Oman's National Cloud. This initiative marks a pivotal step in Oman's digital transformation journey, offering Omani businesses and government entities a secure, locally hosted alternative to global cloud-based productivity platforms.
The proposed solution would be the first of its kind in the region, an enterprise-grade software designed to meet the unique needs of Oman's digital economy while ensuring full compliance with national data sovereignty laws.
The proposed productivity software offers a transformative set of advantages tailored to the needs of Omani enterprises and government entities. By ensuring that all data is stored within Oman's borders, it guarantees full compliance with national data sovereignty laws an essential requirement for organizations handling sensitive citizens' financial information. Built on the certified infrastructure of the National Cloud, the software delivers national-grade security that surpasses typical enterprise standards, offering a level of trust and protection unmatched by global providers. Financially, it enables predictable cost savings by eliminating cross-border data fees and currency fluctuations, allowing businesses to budget confidently in Omani Riyals. Performance is also optimized through local hosting, which ensures faster access speeds, lower latency, and responsive support from teams familiar with the local business landscape. Seamless integration with existing systems further reduces friction and protects prior IT investments, while the software's alignment with Oman's digital strategy positions it as a cornerstone of a sovereign, future-ready digital ecosystem.
