Madar Holding, the international arm of the building materials business of Saudi-based Al Fozan Group, recently announced a significant reduction in IT operational costs over a period of 11 months through leveraging eHosting DataFort (eHDF)'s managed IT services.

eHDF provides Madar Holding with a secure data centre environment to host critical business applications including their ERP systems, communications and security infrastructure. As one of its initial outcomes, eHosting DataFort successfully migrated Madar's IT infrastructure to a centralised environment from a formerly fragmented model.

The partnership with eHDF has allowed Madar to focus on key business areas such as strategic planning and customer service. This approach has, in turn, facilitated the expansion of its operations into new markets.
