Governata, Saudi Arabia’s first enterprise Data Management Platform, has been officially launched to provide Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven solutions in data governance and decision-making for both the public and private sectors.
It unveiled its first product as a pioneering Saudi-made data governance enterprise software specifically designed in the Arabic language for local organisations to comply with national data regulations while leveraging data as a strategic asset with the power of machine learning and Generative AI. Plans to implement the overall AI-driven enterprise decision-making platform for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are also underway.
Governata is currently the first and only Saudi-made Arabic solution that allows local entities to comply with the government's data regulations, as it is built to align with the requirements of the National Data Management Office (NDMO), National Data Index (NDI) and Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) by The Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA), the company said.
It also enables firms to monitor compliance as well as protect and classify data, thereby seamlessly streamlining the construction of a solid data foundation within the complex data governance landscape and preparing organisations for appropriate Generative AI adoption, it said.
Supporting Saudi Arabia’s digital future
Governata’s launch comes at a pivotal time as Vision 2030 accelerates the evolution of the country’s digital economy. More than a technology solution, it supports a national effort to build a data-driven future. By being globally compatible and locally relevant, the overall platform equips entities to transform consistent compliance into a competitive advantage, facilitating improved operational efficiency by automating data governance processes, enhancing data quality and offering full control. Moreover, its pure tech-play model also enables universal usage and rapid scalability, a statement said.
The platform is led by three dynamic professionals with complementary skill sets. Djamel Mohand is a serial entrepreneur with over 16 years of experience across investment advisory and a track record of scaling multiple technology startups in the region, including Foodics - a leading MENA food tech company. Jehad Senan is a data analytics and governance field veteran whose 20 years of experience span leadership across global advisory firms with practical insights. Finally, Khalid Almudayfir is an accomplished data scientist who has worked with the public and private sectors and led innovative and robust national data governance and AI frameworks for over 12 years. Together, they aim to deliver a transformative solution through Governata that will enhance Saudi Arabia’s digital trust and security while paving the way for optimised AI-driven enterprise decision-making.
“Data is the foundation of the present and future digital economy, and our goal is to help Saudi and global organisations manage it more efficiently and responsibly so they can take more accurate, swift and relevant decisions”, said Mohand, Co-Founder of Governata. - TradeArabia News Service
