Al Rajhi Capital (ARC), an investment services company, has selected IBM‘s AI  to automate its business processes and enable the company’s new digital mobile application.

ARC leveraged IBM’s Cloud Pack for Integration (CP4I) built on Red Hat OpenShift, which enabled the company to integrate its apps with its digital platforms and quickly deploy required integration demands in a secure environment.

This digital workflow management platform transforms the customer’s experience and provides more reliable, secure and fast services. With a hybrid cloud approach, ARC delivers accessible products and processes large volumes of data for its core product operations with cloud-based applications.

Saudi Arabia continues to see strong demand for enhanced customer experience and greater availability and performance of digital channels. Supported by IBM, ARC is now more equipped to adapt to changing business needs and digital-first customer expectations, enhancing its competitive advantage through easier deployment and development using a cloud-native approach.
