Kodak Alaris has expanded its partnership with Mannai Information Technology into Saudi Arabia, bringing intelligent document processing, information capture and workflow automation solutions to organisations across the Kingdom.
The expansion builds on the companies’ existing relationship in Qatar and comes as Saudi organisations accelerate digital transformation under Vision 2030, with businesses and government entities looking to automate processes, improve information management and make greater use of their data.
Under the partnership, Kodak Alaris will contribute its expertise in document scanning, intelligent capture, data extraction and workflow automation, while Mannai Information Technology KSA (MIT KSA) will provide local market knowledge, customer relationships, implementation and systems integration capabilities.
The companies will target organisations dealing with large volumes of documents and data, where manual processes can slow operations and make critical information difficult to access and use. Their combined solutions are designed to help organisations capture and structure information more efficiently, improve data accuracy and connect it with wider business systems and workflows.
“Saudi Arabia is one of the most important digital transformation markets in the region, and expanding our partnership with Mannai into the Kingdom is a significant milestone for Kodak Alaris,” said Elias Mouchantaf, Regional Business Director, MEA, Southern & Eastern Europe, APAC at Kodak Alaris.
“Our work together in Qatar has shown what the two companies can achieve. Mannai understands the local market and its customers, while we bring decades of experience in information capture and intelligent document processing. We now have an opportunity to take that experience into Saudi Arabia and help organisations get more value from their information.”
For Mannai, the partnership adds intelligent document processing and information management capabilities to its enterprise technology portfolio in Saudi Arabia. Headquartered in Riyadh, MIT KSA works with customers across digital transformation, cloud, cybersecurity, infrastructure and enterprise technology.
“Saudi Arabia is moving at an exceptional pace, and we are seeing organisations across sectors rethink how they use technology, data and automation,” said Maged Mohamed, Senior Vice President at Mannai Information Technology KSA.
“Our partnership with Kodak Alaris gives customers access to proven information capture and management technology backed by local expertise and integration support. More importantly, it addresses a very practical challenge for businesses today: how to turn large volumes of information into data they can actually use. We see a strong opportunity for this in the Saudi market.”
Preparing information for AI and automation
The partnership comes as organisations increasingly adopt AI and automation, putting greater emphasis on the quality and structure of the data feeding these systems.
Information remains distributed across documents, files and other sources, meaning organisations often need to capture, extract and structure that information before it can be incorporated into automated processes and AI-driven applications.
Kodak Alaris addresses this stage of the information journey through technologies designed to transform physical and digital documents into structured data that can be fed into business systems, workflows and automated processes.
Mannai will complement these capabilities with local customer engagement, implementation and integration expertise, supporting organisations as they deploy the technologies within their existing IT environments.
The Saudi expansion represents the latest development in the Kodak Alaris-Mannai relationship, extending a partnership established in Qatar into the Kingdom’s rapidly developing technology market.
The move also reflects a broader shift in enterprise digital transformation, where capturing information efficiently is increasingly becoming a prerequisite for organisations looking to automate processes and make practical use of AI.
