‘Adoption of modern technology will improve economic indicators’

Islamabad:Pakistan can achieve higher GDP growth and improve economic indicators, by adopting technology at government and private level.

This was stated by Saquib Ahmad, Managing Director of SAP Pakistan, Iraq, and Afghanistan, while talking to media representatives. He emphasized the significance of embracing innovative technological solutions to drive sustainability both locally and on a global scale. Through partnerships and initiatives, SAP supports a network that drives sustainable practices across industries. Saquib said, “We do not set sales targets anymore, rather we work towards goals that are defined around sustainability.”

By providing data-driven insights and analytics, SAP enables governments and companies to make informed decisions about their resource usage, supply chains, and overall business operations. This empowers them to identify areas for improvement and implement sustainable strategies. SAP solutions help in tracking and managing energy consumption, waste, and emissions, facilitating the reduction of environmental footprints. This helps organizations in achieving their sustainability goals by improving resource efficiency. Contributing to the discussion, Fahad Zahid, Director, Large Enterprise SAP Pakistan, highlighted the enthusiasm of local businesses and SMEs for the adoption of technology. He said, “Sustainability is not just about adopting eco-friendly practices; it is about ensuring the long-term viability of business operations by harmonizing economic prosperity, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility. Embracing sustainability in Pakistan’s business landscape is not merely a choice but a strategic imperative for enduring success, fostering resilience, and contributing positively to society and the environment.”

SAP plays an important role in the economic growth of the country, Haroon Khan Account Director, Public Sector, said, “Public sector organizations aim to provide ease for the consumers and this aligns well with the basic philosophy of SAP. The government sector has been receptive to change and it has been a positive experience to work with them, we look forward to exploring more opportunities leading to a digitally empowered Pakistan.”
