BlackLine, Inc. announced the expansion of its global cloud footprint to Saudi Arabia, with the availability of a locally hosted cloud region, delivered in partnership with Google Cloud Platform. This new regional deployment provides organizations with a secure, locally hosted cloud environment that offers lower latency and meets data residency and security requirements. Blackline meets Saudi Arabia's NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC) and Cloud Cyber Security Controls (CCC) requirements, the regulatory standards requiring cybersecurity protections for providers operating in the Kingdom.
Organizations in the Kingdom can now access BlackLine's unified, secure, and AI-powered financial operations platform while keeping data within the region. As Saudi Arabia undergoes a comprehensive economic diversification and modernization initiative, organizations are focused on building more efficient, controlled, and data-driven operations. With this expansion, BlackLine is positioned to partner more closely with Saudi enterprises, providing the critical tools needed to build trust, control, and visibility into their financial processes as they scale and modernize.
BlackLine's expansion into the region is reinforced by its strong partner ecosystem. Key partners such as SAP, EMEA, and Deloitte maintain a significant local presence, creating a robust network for implementation and support. While BlackLine's platform is ERP-agnostic, the company's solutions are offered as an SAP Solution Extension.
This strategic partnership is a key driver for the regional expansion and complements SAP's own commitment to the region. The Saudi Arabia deployment expands BlackLine's growing global availability and supports its mission to inspire, power, and guide digital finance transformation for organizations worldwide.
