Bee’ah, Sharjah’s pioneering environmental management company, has announced the launch of a new company, EvoTeq, and signed two new business agreements in its quest to deliver innovative tech-based solutions to combat pressing issues faced by the region. The signing ceremonies and announcements took place during Bee’ah’s participation in the SAP Innovation Day at the Al Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre in Sharjah.
During the event, Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO of Bee’ah, announced the launch of EvoTeq, a digitally focused company that will employ technological solutions to address logistical, educational, healthcare and other complex issues faced by the region. Under the umbrella of EvoTeq, two new business initiatives, Evogulf and SmartTrack were also announced.
Elaborating on the operations of Evoteq, Salim bin Mohamed Al Owais, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Bee’ah, said, “The launch of EvoTeq is a proud day in the evolution of Bee’ah. We have always been believers in technology and innovation and pride ourselves on being the most advanced company in our industry. With that focus on innovation and on quality of life, we knew that technology has to play a big role in the future of Bee’ah. The time is perfect to diversify into the digital economy and launch EvoTeq which will help improve the lives of the people we serve.”
Al Huraimel, Group CEO of Bee’ah, said, “Signifying a new venture for Bee’ah, EvoTeq will focus its efforts on the digital transformation of the public and private sectors here in the Gulf region, seeking to improve people’s lives by applying digital technology to everyday situations. In practice, this means we will strive to enhance existing digital platforms, create new e-commerce services and act as an enabler and facilitator for the rapid, ongoing process of digitalisation within the Gulf.”
The day began with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the newly formed EvoTeq and SAP, the German software giant whose products seamlessly connect people and technology in real-time. A global software company, SAP is one of the largest vendors of ERP and other enterprise applications, driving the process of digital transformation, and serving more than 335,000 customers, across 190 countries. The agreement will be conducive to ensuring the smooth launch of the company and in establishing its operational efficiency. It will also develop its digital business on the latest computing architecture including mobile, Cloud, Big Data and analytics.
The ceremony was followed by the signing of a second agreement between EOH, a leading consulting, technology and outsourcing business from South Africa, and the newly formed EvoTeq, to from Evogulf, which will function as the implementation arm of EvoTeq. Operating under EvoTeq, Evogulf will utilise the expertise of EOH to ensure the smooth implementation of digital solutions
