Annual Report 2018 The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques

Best Information Transformation Award 
Alinma was the first bank in the kingdom to adopt the “Active-Active” data center model, which is a vast data 
transformation improvement over the “Active-Passive” model still common in the region.  Active-Active ensures that 
all partner data is replicated in real time across the bank’s primary and back-up data center systems, thus eliminating 
down-time concerns and significantly mitigating risks related to disaster recovery scenarios. This accomplishment 
garnered the bank the Best IT Service Transformation award at the 2018 IDC Saudi CIO Excellence Awards.
