Kodak Alaris has expanded its intelligent document processing operations into Saudi Arabia through a strategic partnership with Mannai Information Technology. Announced on September 22, 2026, in Riyadh, the initiative builds on the existing cooperation between both entities in Qatar. The agreement brings document scanning, data extraction, and workflow automation systems to enterprise clients across the Kingdom.
The expansion aligns with national digitalisation initiatives under Saudi Vision 2030, where public and private organizations continue to automate document workflows. By integrating hardware capture with digital tools, both entities aim to assist organizations handling substantial volumes of physical and digital records. The initiative supports wider investments across the national economy.
Advancing Intelligent Document Processing in the Kingdom
Under the agreement, Kodak Alaris provides specialized document scanners, capture software, and workflow automation platforms. Meanwhile, Mannai Information Technology KSA delivers system integration, local technical support, and client engagement from its Riyadh headquarters. The joint offering converts unstructured physical files and electronic documents into structured data assets.
Specifically, manual information retrieval often slows administrative operations across data-intensive sectors. Consequently, the deployment of intelligent document processing allows enterprises to streamline data capture, enhance record accuracy, and integrate captured information into modern apps and enterprise software platforms.
“Saudi Arabia is one of the most important digital transformation markets in the region, and expanding our partnership with Mannai into the Kingdom is a significant milestone for Kodak Alaris.”
Elias Mouchantaf, Regional Business Director at Kodak Alaris
Enterprise Infrastructure and System Integration
Mannai Information Technology KSA provides technology services covering cloud architecture, IT infrastructure, and enterprise systems. The company also maintains operations in enterprise cybersecurity and digital transformation consulting. Adding capture technologies from Kodak Alaris expands its enterprise portfolio for Saudi Arabian public and private entities.
“Our partnership with Kodak Alaris gives customers access to proven information capture and management technology backed by local expertise and integration support.”
Maged Mohamed, Senior Vice President at Mannai Information Technology KSA
Data Preparation for Advanced Automation
The growing adoption of AI across regional industries creates an increased requirement for reliable source data. Automated business logic and machine intelligence systems depend directly on high-quality input. Unstructured documents and legacy paper archives require systematic digitization before downstream applications can process them effectively.
Moreover, modern intelligent document processing systems address this operational stage by structuring records immediately upon capture. This workflow prepares institutional information for direct ingestion into automated enterprise architectures and analytical databases.
Future Outlook for Enterprise Information Management
The expansion into Saudi Arabia represents the latest phase of collaboration between Kodak Alaris and Mannai Information Technology. Both organizations plan to focus on large-scale enterprises, financial institutions, and government entities undergoing administrative modernisation. As digital transformation programs accelerate across Riyadh and other commercial centres, systematic capture infrastructure will remain essential for operational efficiency.
