Oman Data Park (ODP), the Sultanate’s pioneering provider of managed cybersecurity and cloud services, has signed a service agreement with the Government of Zanzibar’s Contractor Ozone Limited Solutions, to expand the “ePROZ” services provided to the Government of Zanzibar.
This strategic partnership introduces two advanced modules from JAGGAER ONE: eProcurement and Invoicing, aimed at significantly enhancing the procurement and accounts payable processes within Zanzibar’s government departments.
The JAGGAER ONE eProcurement module will equip the Government of Zanzibar with robust catalog management tools and an intuitive eCommerce interface, enabling informed purchasing decisions in alignment with procurement policies. Features such as configurable request forms, smart search technology, and a private supplier marketplace will enhance compliance and promote cost-effective procurement practices.
Simultaneously, the JAGGAER ONE Invoicing module will automate invoice receipt and management, streamlining workflows and eliminating paper-based processes to significantly reduce processing times. This module will also provide enhanced self-service capabilities for suppliers, fostering greater engagement and enabling real-time data analysis to optimize accounts payable performance.
