something to everyone. For us it's about
structuring what it means for the client and
then outlining which part is optimisation and
which part is new business. It's very complex
– you look at the existing structure and
imagine a new digital business.
Sometimes the ideas come from the
outside so it's us creating that ecosystem
of capabilities that can be joined in. And
then the problem – whether a business
problem, social problem or an environment
problem – can be solved by putting these
capabilities together.
We're talking about SMEs, vertical experts,
business consultants. We have a process
that says we innovate, we incubate and
then we commercialise. So that's one of
the approaches that we have and we have
partners that help us do that.
We are in a very innovative part
of the world – how are organisations
responding to the Digital
Transformation challenges?
There's still a struggle – I think it's going to
take time before people really grasp what
Digital Transformation means to them. And
it's all about having the courage to take that
step. What Injazat does is eliminate that fear
by investing on its own.

COMPANIES,
SO WE’VE
INVESTED A LOT
IN EMERGING
TECHNOLOGY.
So, Malaffi was an investment from us.
The revenue share comes later for the
government, so they don't take a lot of risk.
This approach helped us a lot. We're going
to do more of that.
How important are your partnerships
and channel strategy?
It is crucial. I think there's a study that's
been done by Gartner which states that
90% of businesses that are not part of an
ecosystem will ultimately fail. Especially in
the digital world, you can't work alone.
Are you able to talk a little bit more
about the Malaffi project?
It's a health information exchange. These
kinds of programmes usually have a high
failure rate but we've been successful
because we put the right people in place
and we got the best consultants in the world
to really get a proper programme set up,
ensuring the best service to the end-user.
Malaffi is something we're very proud of
and we want to repeat – a lot. It's going to
impact the lives of citizens directly.
If you think about it, if you need to be taken
to the emergency room and you're not
conscious, you can't tell the doctor if you're
allergic to something or not.
Malaffi consolidates all the health records
into one, giving it to the patient themselves
and to the doctor so that the best medical
treatment can be given. So this is Digital
Transformation in action.
What is the market demand for cloud
in this region?
We've launched our cloud recently. Our
cloud strategy is a hybrid multi-cloud
approach. So clients still have on prem
workloads and then we have our cloud,
