Bahrain Network (BNET), the kingdom’s national broadband operator, has signed a strategic agreement with global consultancy Keyrus to develop Bayanat, a centralized data platform aimed at streamlining internal data processes. This marks BNET’s first initiative to consolidate data usage across its organization, enhancing data collection, governance, and reporting standards.
Bayanat will bolster BNET’s capabilities in business intelligence, real-time analytics, AI, and machine learning, reinforcing its leadership in digital transformation. The platform aligns with Bahrain’s Sixth National Telecommunications Plan, supporting national goals of strengthening digital infrastructure and innovation in telecommunications.
Keyrus will provide training and expertise to BNET’s teams, enabling faster, data-driven decision-making to improve operational efficiency, service quality, and strategic planning. Bayanat’s adaptable design will also facilitate early risk detection and enhance organizational readiness.
Shaikh Ebrahim bin Mohamed Al Khalifa, BNET’s Chief Commercial Officer and Bayanat Project Chairman, highlighted the initiative as pivotal to unifying data for institutional performance and national progress. Hassan Faour, Keyrus Middle East Managing Director, emphasized the partnership as a step toward a comprehensive data-driven future, leveraging AI and robust data assets to accelerate BNET’s growth and digital leadership.
Ahmed Al Fadhel, BNET’s Director of Strategy and Corporate Performance, noted that Bayanat is a foundational pillar for executing the company’s strategy, empowering teams with essential technical tools and data to realize its vision.
