Meet the participant of Project of the Year 2025:
“Empowered Employee: Transforming Work with Generative AI”
This initiative, led by Nilufar Shafiyeva, Senior Product Owner at ABB Bank, brings the bank’s first enterprise-level Generative AI assistant to life:
🔸 The project unifies 12 internal domains — HR, Operations, Compliance, IT Infrastructure, Procurement, and others. Unlike traditional chatbots, it interprets intent across departments and delivers precise, actionable answers.
🔸 Adoption has been remarkable: 3 300 employees (87%), 55 000+ queries, 87.7% accuracy, with 1 600 monthly active users. HR queries make up over half of all interactions, reducing HR email traffic by 70% and cutting response times from minutes to seconds.
Built on RAG pipelines, ERP and ManageEngine APIs, and SQL/visualization tools, this multi-domain GenAI platform is transforming productivity and internal service delivery at ABB Bank.

Meet the participant of Project of the Year 2025: “AI-driven IT Overhaul”
This strategic initiative from BankDhofar, led by Buthaina Said Nasser Al-Jahdhami, Unit Head Events & Sponsorship & CSR, was delivered in close partnership with Reksoft, the project’s IT provider.
The team completed the full Discovery Phase, giving the bank a solid blueprint for digital transformation:
🔸 A complete system and integration registry that finally closed long-standing documentation gaps.
🔸 A detailed Architecture Vision Document outlining future-state architecture, integration diagrams, and a realistic roadmap.
🔸 A practical, resource-aware migration strategy for transitioning 71 services and applications to a microservices-based platform.
🔸 A focused pilot validating Apache Camel architecture before large-scale rollout.
What makes this project stand out is its AI-first approach, the first of its kind in Oman’s digital banking sector. AI tools were embedded into every stage, from analysis to testing, enabling more than 40% resource savings and dramatically accelerating work on a complex landscape of 70+ systems and 1,000 integration flows.

The Evolution of Billing: How Companies Are Learning to Manage Flexibility and Revenue Simultaneously
Subnoscriptions, freemium, usage-based pricing—companies are constantly rethinking how they monetize. But here's the challenge: what feels convenient for customers can quickly become a nightmare for operations.
In our latest interview, Irina Kuznetsova, Product Director at BillogicPlatform, breaks down what modern billing really means:
🔹 Why too much customization creates a "contract zoo"
🔹 How long it actually takes to switch billing models (spoiler: 3-18 months)
🔹 Build vs. buy—when custom billing makes sense and when it doesn't
🔹 How AI is already helping reduce customer churn through billing data
Today's billing isn't just about invoices—it's part of the customer experience and a strategic business asset.

Meet the participant of Project of the Year 2025: “Implementation of Hybrid Checkouts in Small-Format Stores”
«ТРИ цены» was the first retailer in the Republic of Belarus to implement a new format of checkout solutions — a hybrid checkout, which can operate both in the classic mode with a cashier and in self-service mode. Retailer needed to solve the problem of cashier shortages.
After installing the hybrid checkout instead of traditional checkout in the store:
🔸 The store's throughput capacity increased by 15%.
🔸 The conversion rate from customer traffic into actual purchases improved by 5%, due to reduced queues.
🔸 Statistics: hybrid checkouts operate predominantly in self-service mode, allowing to save up to 30% on the payroll fund (FOT — Payroll Fund) by eliminating the need to hire additional staff.

This high-stakes transformation, led by Burcu Güler, Project Manager at Corendon Airlines, marks one of the most complex undertakings in the aviation industry — a full migration to a next-generation Passenger Service System (PSS), the operational backbone of any airline.
The uniqueness of the initiative lies in its scale and risk: airlines replace their PSS once in a decade due to the enormous operational impact. Migrating such a system is often compared to “changing an aircraft engine while still flying.” Every process — reservations, ticketing, check-in, boarding — must continue flawlessly during cutover.

Central Asia 2025 The Digital Silk Road of Energy
In the context of energy shortages and growing ESG requirements, investments in digital infrastructure are becoming a source of strategic advantage for Central Asia. Digital twins, drones for monitoring gas networks, and blockchain payments are forming a new digital "Silk Road", where energy technologies are the key commodity.
How do you maintain energy security when building new infrastructure takes billions and years? Central Asia found the answer in digitalization. Digital twins optimize reservoirs at Tengiz. AI reduces drilling costs at Kashagan. Cloud SCADA systems cut accident response times when every minute matters. Central Asia is no longer the periphery. It's a laboratory testing the future of energy management.

From “Passing the System from Hand to Hand” to a Common Victory
Implementing a corporate communications system is a complex process. On paper, it all seems simple: there’s a product, a team, and a deadline. In practice, however, there are dozens of participants, overlapping responsibilities, user resistance, and endless approvals from the information security department.
But there is another scenario — when the vendor and the client work as a single team, and the implementation becomes not just a “technical step,” but a step toward business development, stronger internal communications, and higher business efficiency.
