Muscat, October 22, 2025 — Omantel has announced a strategic partnership with Kingsoft to develop Oman’s first sovereign productivity software, a locally hosted enterprise-grade solution built entirely on the National Cloud. The initiative marks a significant milestone in Oman’s digital transformation and reinforces the country’s commitment to data sovereignty, security, and technological self-reliance.
The proposed software will be the first of its kind in the region, offering Omani businesses and government entities a secure, locally governed alternative to global productivity platforms. Hosted within Oman’s borders, it ensures full compliance with national data sovereignty laws, a key requirement for organizations managing sensitive citizen and financial data.
Built on the certified infrastructure of the National Cloud, the platform will deliver national-grade security, predictable cost savings, and optimized performance. By eliminating cross-border data transfers and currency fluctuations, enterprises can manage expenses in Omani Riyals with greater stability. Local hosting will also enhance speed, reduce latency, and provide direct access to Omani technical support teams.
“This strategic collaboration with Kingsoft represents a foundational step in Oman’s digital evolution,” said Aladdin Baitfadhil, Chief Commercial Officer at Omantel. “Together, we are exploring a secure, locally governed, and future-ready platform that aligns with Oman’s broader economic and technological vision.”
Beyond the technical innovation, the collaboration is designed to empower Oman’s public and private sectors by integrating seamlessly with existing enterprise systems and supporting the nation’s long-term vision for a sovereign digital ecosystem.
Omantel’s leadership in operating the National Cloud, paired with Kingsoft’s expertise in productivity software, forms a powerful alliance poised to make Oman a regional hub for innovation, connectivity, and secure cloud services.
