CUSTOMER WIN: mobily Extends Relationship with BMC Software to Create a Private Cloud
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia --(Business Wire)--
mobily, one of the two largest mobile telecommunications companies in
Saudi Arabia, is a regional thought leader in the optimization of IT
operations. As such, it quickly saw the benefits of cloud
computing and embarked on a major strategic initiative to fully
implement cloud and automate its IT infrastructure.
After a thorough competitive review, mobily selected the BMC
Cloud Lifecycle Management (CLM) solution from BMC Software (News - Alert) (NASDAQ: BMC)

for the telecommunications leader. The company also engaged BMC
Consulting Services to ensure a smooth and rapid implementation.
"As a longtime partner of BMC Software, we have been very impressed with
the company's approach on Business
Service Management and their best practices concerning the
automation of our IT services," said Medhat Amer, CIO at mobily.
Haithem AlFaraj, VP of IT operations at mobile, added, "The use of BMC
Services meant that the implementation and execution of the project was
very well organized and efficient. Because of that we were able to
manage all the required changes that arose during the implementation
process itself."
The Challenge
mobily wanted to implement a private cloud that would automate service
provisining, provide an easy-to-use interface to encourage rapid
take-up by end-users and ensure scalability for anticipated growth.

these objectives. The company also engaged BMC Consulting Services,
