Service provider Ooredoo says it has entered into a partnership with Qatar Airways to embark on what is described as a large-scale cloud adoption journey.
In collaboration with Google Cloud, this initiative is said to mark a significant milestone in both organisations’ commitment to digital innovation in Qatar and positions Ooredoo as a key hybrid cloud provider in the region.
Specifically this strategic alliance will see Qatar Airways working with Ooredoo to leverage Google Cloud’s data analytics and artificial intelligence solutions for enhanced customer experiences and sustainability. The partnership involves creating a hybrid multi-cloud environment, combining the vast AI capabilities of Google Cloud with Qatar Airways’ Private Cloud environment.
This innovative approach, the partners say, is set to further upgrade and enhance Qatar Airways' business processes, commercial capabilities, and overall customer experience.
A key component of this collaboration is the use of Google Cloud’s services, hosted in Google’s cloud region in Qatar. This setup provides Qatar Airways with crucial controls to help maintain high security standards and meet local data residency requirements and compliance standards, while also offering the flexibility to scale as its business needs evolve.
As many readers will be aware this isn’t the only cloud-based collaboration involving Ooredoo and Qatar Airways to be announced this year. In May we reported that Ooredoo had announced a strategic partnership with Qatar Airways and Nutanix, a leader in hybrid multi-cloud computing, through which it is to develop a cutting-edge hybrid multi-cloud environment, paving the way for next-generation applications that will bolster the airline’s customer experience and business performance.
