Success in Saudi

The launch of the data centre in Saudi Arabia is a pivotal step in Themis’s mission to empower businesses globally with innovative solutions. Consequently, Themis will enhance the businesses’ ability to detect, prevent, and ultimately reduce the global impacts of financial crime.

There is a strong drive to tackle financial crime within Saudi Arabia. The country has made anti-financial crime efforts and innovation a key part of progress towards its Vision 2030. In doing so, it will diversify the economy, foster entrepreneurship, and grow its already robust financial sector.

The digital transformation taking place in the country also brings new opportunities for coordination. This is the case across both the public and private sectors. Together they can fight financial crime effectively and creatively. Themis is positioned to provide the tools necessary to do so.

Themis technology is built in such a way that data can be hosted anywhere in the world. Therefore it can adhere to any jurisdictional regulatory requirements.
