Architecting Digital Transformation in Saudi Arabia

Trusted by leading organizations across Saudi Arabia

Our Service CatalogEnterprise Architecture & Digital Transformation

Digital Transformation Strategy

We start with a maturity assessment of where you stand today, benchmark against industry leaders, and align your stakeholders around a shared direction. The result is a practical roadmap with clear initiatives and KPIs your team can actually execute on.

EA Office Establishment

We set up EA offices that follow NORA and TOGAF standards. That means building the governance structure, defining the operating model, staffing the right roles, and making sure the office actually produces results -- not just documentation.

NORA Accreditation Qualification

We have taken 4 government entities through the full NORA process- from readiness assessment to Level 3 and Level 4 accreditation. We know where entities get stuck and how to get past it. More are in progress.

Qiyas Compliance

Our Saudi consultants walk your team through the full Qiyas framework -- all 10 perspectives, 23 axes, and 95 criteria. We know the DGA expectations inside out and help you prepare an accurate maturity assessment that reflects where your organization actually stands.

Enterprise Architecture Consulting

Our certified architects have run assessments, capability maps, and technology roadmaps across government and private sector entities. TOGAF and ArchiMate are the day-to-day tools- we use them where they fit and produce outputs you can actually act on.

Innovation Solution Building

We build custom software and technical solutions for problems that off-the-shelf products do not solve. Our consultants scope the requirement, design the architecture, and deliver working systems -- whether that is a data integration layer, a reporting platform, or an internal tool your teams need.

Provide EA Tool

We are the official Middle East partner for Avolution ABACUS, Gartner's top-rated EA tool. We handle the full implementation -- setup, configuration, Arabic language support, and local training for your team. Ongoing support is included so your architects can get the most out of the platform.

Why SAHM

What makes SAHM different

SAHM

SAHM works with government and private sector clients on EA programs that produce real results. Our team is DGA-certified and has run enough NORA accreditations and Qiyas engagements to know what actually works.

We translate EA requirements into concrete work- coordinating across business units and IT so decisions actually get made and implemented.

We are DGA-certified, and we keep raising the bar- each accreditation cycle, we review and improve our own practice.

Our specialists have worked on EA projects across government entities, universities, and regulated industries for years. They know the common pitfalls.

We have a detailed understanding of DGA maturity and have achieved accreditations for multiple entities in the Kingdom.

We have achieved EA Level 3 accreditation four times from 2023 to 2025 with government and semi-government entities.

Common Questions

Here are answers to the questions we hear most often. If yours is not covered, get in touch and we will be happy to talk.

What services does SAHM provide?

We do five things: Digital Transformation Strategy, EA Office setup and operations, NORA Accreditation, Qiyas Compliance, and Avolution ABACUS implementation. The goal with all of them is to build lasting capability inside your organization, not just hand over a report.

What makes SAHM different from other EA consultants?

We are DGA-certified and the official Middle East partner for Avolution ABACUS, which means we know how Saudi EA actually works. We have achieved Level 3 and Level 4 NORA accreditation for 4 government entities. We also stay involved beyond the initial engagement -- we treat your success as ours.

What is NORA and why does it matter for my organization?

NORA (National Overall Reference Architecture) is the DGA's framework for how government entities should build and manage their Enterprise Architecture. It ties your digital work to national objectives. We take you through the full process -- from the initial readiness assessment all the way to accreditation.

Why do you recommend Avolution ABACUS?

ABACUS is Gartner's top-rated EA tool, and as the official Middle East partner we can fully support it locally. It handles over 30 frameworks including TOGAF and ArchiMate, and has Arabic language support. We do not just install it -- we configure it for your environment and train your team so they actually use it.

How does SAHM support Qiyas compliance?

Qiyas measures your digital maturity across 10 perspectives. Our consultants sit with your teams, identify the gaps, and work through corrective actions for each one. The aim is an accurate score that reflects real improvements, not just paperwork.

What clients have trusted SAHM with their transformation?

Our clients include King Khalid University, the Human Rights Commission, and the Real Estate General Authority. We helped each of them achieve their NORA accreditation and improve their digital maturity scores.

How long will our transformation journey take?

It depends on the scope. A Digital Transformation Strategy typically takes 2 to 6 months. Standing up a fully operational EA Office is a longer engagement -- 24 to 36 months. NORA Accreditation usually runs 6 to 12 months. We agree on a realistic timeline upfront and keep to it.

What kind of success can we expect with SAHM?

So far we have a 100% delivery success rate. King Khalid University, for example, reached the Innovation Stage with a 93.66% digital maturity score under our engagement. We hold ourselves to the same targets we set for our clients.

Who should be on the EA Governance Committee?

Under NORA requirements, the committee must report directly to the Digital Transformation Committee, its name must include "Enterprise Architecture", and its chair must be a member of the Digital Transformation Committee. We guide you in forming the committee and defining its tasks and approval authorities.
