BANGALORE: Indian IT bellwether Wipro Ltd announced winning an order from Saudi Electricity Company to maintain its energy plant and distribution system across Saudi Arabia.

"Plant maintenance and project system functionality of the SAP's enterprise resource planning (ERP) will enable the power utility to have an integrated system for offering centralised and standardised processes across its plants in the kingdom," the global software major's Saudi subsidiary said in a statement.

As the largest power utility in the Gulf region, Saudi Electricity firm serves around five million customers across the desert kingdom.

"Our IT solutions will ensure the utility's uptime of distribution networks, expense controls and effective utilisation of its assets," Wipro Arabia head Thomas George said on the occasion.

When implemented in the next 10 months, the bilingual (Arabic/English) solution will allow the Saudi utility to migrate data to ERP from digitised and manual systems.

"The ERP-based system is designed to enable the Saudi utility to serve customers better by increasing availability of assets due to increased uptime. The solution will help it bring the country onto a single platform to streamline daily operations and increase operational and financial efficiencies," George said.
