"بروبرتي فايندر" تُحدث نقلة نوعية في سوق العقارات الرقمية بمنطقة الشرق الأوسط

 

ن خلال اعتماد خدمات الحوسبة السحابية والذكاء الاصطناعي من أمازون ويب سيرفيسيز

الابتكار في مجال الذكاء الاصطناعي المدعم بحلول أمازون ويب سيرفيسز يعزز أداء بوابة العقارات الرائدة في المنطقة بنسبة 81% ويضع معايير جديدة لخدمة العملاء الرقمية

دبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة، 21 مايو 2025: أثبتت التكنولوجيا دورها التحويلي في إحداث نقلة نوعية في سوق العقارات بمنطقة الشرق الأوسط، والتي تعتبر إحدى أعظم قصص نجاح الأعمال في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة، حيث تعمل الحوسبة السحابية والابتكار في مجال الذكاء الاصناعي التوليدي على تمهيد الطريق لعصر جديد من الخدمات العقارية الرقمية في جميع أنحاء المنطقة.

وكانت "بروبرتي فايندر"، المنصة الرائدة في مجال العقارات في الشرق الأوسط والتي تخدم ملايين المستخدمين شهرياً في سوق مزدهر تبلغ قيمته 388 مليار دولار أمريكي، سباقة في تبني الحوسبة السحابية عندما انتقلت إلى خدمات أمازون ويب (AWS) في عام 2012 لإدارة أحجام البيانات الضخمة وحركة المرور العالية التي تأتي نتيجةً لكونها منصة العقارات رقم واحد في المنطقة عبر الإنترنت.

وعزز نشر البنية الخالية من الخوادم ريادة شركة "بروبرتي فايندر" في السوق، حيث تمثل الشركة الآن 65% من الإعلانات العقارية عبر الإنترنت وتستفيد من البنية التحتية السحابية الآمنة والقابلة للتطوير من أمازون ويب سيرفيسز وتعزز مكانتها كقوة رائدة في المشهد العقاري المتطور عبر الإنترنت في المنطقة.

واتخذت شركة "بروبرتي فايندر" في الآونة الأخيرة خطوة حاسمة للانتقال إلى خدمة مخزون البيانات AWS Redshift وخدمة ذكاء الأعمال لتعلم الآلة AWS QuickSight، وهو القرار الذي أدى إلى تحسين أداء الأعمال بنسبة 81% وخفض التكاليف بنسبة 40%.

ونقلت الشركة مؤخراً مركز بياناتها إلى أمازون ويب سيرفيسز لتوحيد البنية التحتية للتحليلات وتبسيط تكامل البيانات. ونظراً لأن معظم مصادر بيانات "بروبرتي فايندر" موجودة بالفعل ضمن منظومة أمازون ويب سيرفيسز، أتاحت هذه الخطوة الاتصال السلس وخفض زمن الوصول وتبسيط قنوات نقل البيانات. إضافةً إلى ذلك، تتكامل بوابة العقارات مع خدمات أمازون ويب سيرفيسز المعززة بإمكانات الذكاء الاصطناعي وتعلم الآلة، بما في ذلك خدمات مثل SageMaker وAmazon Q وBedrock، مما يسمح للشركة بتسريع تطوير المزايا الذكية عبر منصتها.

يُسلّط هذا الانتقال الناجح الضوء على المزايا القيّمة التي توفرها أمازون ويب سيرفيسز وخدماتها المتطورة والمعززة بقدرات الذكاء الاصطناعي التوليدي لتعزيز العمليات التجارية. وتمتد هذه التحسينات من التوصيات المدعمة بالذكاء الاصطناعي وروبوتات الدردشة الذكية إلى معالجة الفيديو المتطورة وفحوصات جودة القوائم الآلية وكشف الاحتيال.

وتم دمج هذه التطورات التقنية المُخصصة استجابةً للتحديات الرئيسية التي يواجهها عملاء "بروبرتي فايندر"، حيث يعتبر ما يقرب من نصفهم (44%) "الثقة" المعيار الأساسي عند البحث عن استئجار أو شراء عقارهم التالي. وتُعدّ عمليات التحقق الآلي من جودة القوائم والكشف عن الاحتيال أمثلةً على تطبيقات الذكاء الاصطناعي التوليدي المُصممة على نظام أمازون ويب سيرفيسز المدعم بالذكاء الاصطناعي وتعلم الآلة، بما في ذلك Bedrock والخدمات الأخرى.

قال هيمانشو نيرانجاني، الرئيس التنفيذي للتقنية لدى شركة "بروبرتي فايندر": "يُظهر تحول بروبرتي فايندر كيف تُحدث التكنولوجيا نقلة نوعية في قطاع العقارات بمنطقة الشرق الأوسط. وأسهم الانتقال الاستراتيجي إلى AWS Redshift في إرساء أساس حديث للبيانات وأصبح أيضاً نقطة انطلاق لابتكارات الذكاء الاصطناعي.

وبالاستفادة من إمكانيات Amazon Bedrock المتنوعة لنماذج اللغة الكبيرة والتكامل الوثيق مع مخزون بياناتها، استطاعت "بروبرتي فايندر" نشر حلول الذكاء الاصطناعي التوليدي المتطورة بسرعة عبر منصتها. وعمل هذا الاتصال السلس بين البيانات والذكاء الاصطناعي على تغيير كل شيء، بدءاً من إنشاء القوائم العقارية، وصولاً إلى ضمان جودتها واكتشاف القوائم غير المتاحة ومعالجة ملايين الطلبات شهرياً.

بناء رؤية "سحابة العقارات" لتكون مركز تجمع لأفضل المواهب التقنية

تأسست بروبرتي فايندر في عام 2007، ويعكس صعودها المدعوم بالتكنولوجيا التحول الرقمي الذي يشهده الشرق الأوسط في السنوات الأخيرة، حيث يساعد AWS وغيره من رواد التكنولوجيا في تسريع الابتكار في اقتصاد الذكاء الاصطناعي الناشئ في المنطقة.

من جانبها قالت تانوجا رانديري، نائبة رئيس أمازون ويب سيرفيسز في منطقة أوروبا والشرق الأوسط وإفريقيا: "تُعد بروبرتي فايندر اليوم منصة رائدةً في المنطقة في مجال العقارات المدعمة بالذكاء الاصطناعي، حيث تُعزز كل تفاعل من خلال الأتمتة الذكية وتُقدم السرعة الفائقة عبر البنية التحتية العالمية لأمازون ويب سيرفيسز. ويُحدث هذا التكامل بين بنية البيانات القوية وقدرات الذكاء الاصطناعي المتطورة تحولاً في أعمالهم ويُجسّد أيضاً رؤية "سحابة العقارات" التي تُرسي معايير جديدة في هذا المجال".

كما تشكل العلاقة بين أمازون ويب سيرفيسز و"بروبرتي فايندر" نموذجاً مميزاً للشركات الأخرى في المنطقة التي تتطلع إلى الاستفادة من تقنيات الحوسبة السحابية والذكاء الاصطناعي، مع وضع معايير جديدة لخدمات العملاء الرقمية في جميع أنحاء الشرق الأوسط وتعزيز مكانة المنطقة كمركز يجذب أفضل المواهب التقنية.

وأضاف نيرانجاني: "شهدت بروبرتي فايندر ارتفاعاً ملحوظاً في توظيف الكفاءات التقنية خلال العام الماضي، ونواصل استقطاب أفضل الكفاءات، حيث يتألف فريقنا من ألمع الكفاءات الذين يجمعهم طموح مشترك لتغيير نمط الحياة في المنطقة إلى الأفضل. ونستقطب أبرز المواهب من الراغبين في إحداث الأثر الإيجابي، ونؤمن إيماناً راسخاً بأن نجاحنا جميعاً مرتبط بتطور فريقنا المستمر".

SAP Reimagines How Enterprises Run With Business AI

 

  • AI Innovations Aim to Boost Business Productivity by up to 30 Percent
  • Partnerships with Perplexity and Palantir Bring out Customers’ Best

A person standing on stage with hands upAI-generated content may be incorrect.

 

SAP CEO Christian Klein on stage at Sapphire 2025 in Orlando this week.

 

ORLANDO, US/DUBAI, UAE – 21 May 2025 – At its annual SAP Sapphire conference, SAP this week unveiled innovations and partnerships that put the power of Business AI in every user’s hands, revolutionizing the way work gets done. From a virtually omnipresent Joule assistant to an expanded network of Joule Agents that work across systems and lines of business, SAP heralds a new era that democratizes access to Business AI and can drive productivity gains of up to 30 percent.

 

“SAP combines the world’s most powerful suite of business applications with uniquely rich data and the latest AI innovations to create a flywheel of customer value,” said SAP CEO Christian Klein. “With the expansion of Joule, our partnerships with leading AI pioneers, and advancements in SAP Business Data Cloud, we’re delivering on the promise of Business AI as we drive digital transformations that help customers thrive in an increasingly unpredictable world.”

 

AI that boosts productivity

SAP’s generative AI assistant Joule can be everywhere you work, delivering personalized answers on everything you need to be more productive.

 

Joule can accompany business users throughout their day, in and out of the SAP application universe, to find data, surface real-time insights and streamline workflows. Joule’s new ubiquity includes an action bar powered by WalkMe that studies user behavior across applications, turning the assistant into an always-available, proactive AI that can anticipate users’ needs before they arise — always adhering to SAP’s strict ethical AI guidelines.

 

A collaboration with Perplexity, an AI-powered answer engine company, enhances Joule’s ability to draw on structured and unstructured data to solve complex business problems. Powered by Perplexity and the SAP Knowledge Graph, Joule now instantly answers questions with structured, visual answers — such as charts and graphs — grounded in real-time business data within SAP workflows. For example, a user could ask the tool how recent external events might impact their business and get a forecast based on both current events and the company’s own business data.

 

SAP also unveiled an expanded library of Joule Agents that reimagine business processes and workflows from the ground up. Fueled by the world’s most powerful real-time business data and orchestrated by Joule, these AI agents work across systems and lines of business to anticipate, adapt and act autonomously so organizations can stay agile in a rapidly changing world. Partnering with industry leaders, SAP offers an ecosystem of interoperable agents that can execute end-to-end processes. The new agents span customer experience, supply chain management, spend management, finance, and human capital management.

 

Finally, SAP introduced an operating system for AI development that transforms how enterprises build, deploy and scale AI solutions. AI Foundation gives developers a single entry point for building, extending and running custom AI solutions at scale, making it the first real operating system for Business AI. A new prompt optimizer, designed collaboratively with the frontier AI lab Not Diamond, also helps developers create more effective AI prompts quickly, reducing work on complex use cases from days to minutes.

 

Data that drives smarter decisions

SAP also introduced new intelligent applications in SAP Business Data Cloud, each built for a specific line of business. These applications can continuously learn, simulate outcomes and guide actions using business-critical data, detecting changes to optimize processes, anticipate needs, and collaborate with both human and artificial thinkers to drive meaningful impact. The People Intelligence application, for instance, optimizes team performance by transforming people and skills data into workforce insights and AI-driven recommendations.

 

Additionally, SAP and Palantir are partnering to facilitate joint customers’ cloud migration journey and modernization programs. Seamless connectivity between Palantir and SAP Business Data Cloud will enable customers to build a harmonized data foundation across their enterprise landscape. Together the companies will responsibly deliver essential outcomes and support customers, including the U.S. government, to quickly adapt to changes and disruptions.

 

Applications that accelerate cloud adoption

The company also announced SAP Business Suite packages, which are designed for customers to simplify the adoption of SAP cloud solutions that address their specific business challenges. SAP Build is embedded in these packages, so organizations can customize applications to meet their unique needs.

 

Finally, SAP unveiled a new solution that helps customers transition to the cloud faster. With Joule as the entry point and drawing on insights from SAP solutions including SAP Signavio and SAP LeanIX, the solution delivers personalized guidance and actionable recommendations tailored to an organization’s transformation objectives and can help deliver up to 35 percent faster time to value.

Tiziana Rocca presented the Filming Italy Sardegna festival with its international guests at the Cannes Film Festival

Filming Italy Sardegna: Tiziana Rocca at Cannes: “Alec Baldwin, Heather Graham and Simon Baker among guests. We support young talents”
CANNES – Tiziana Rocca presented the eighth edition of Filming Italy Sardegna at the Cannes Film Festival, set to take place at Forte Village in Cagliari from June 19-22, 2025. “The Festival reaches its eighth edition this year. It’s an important milestone,” states Rocca, “confirming our commitment to promoting Italian and international cinema, supporting young talents, and creating an increasingly vibrant dialogue between culture, industry, and audiences.”
The jury president for the short film section will be Micaela Ramazzotti. “Our festival ambassador will be the talented Martina Stella, an artist who embodies beauty, talent, and a strong connection to our cinema. Numerous guests will attend the Festival and participate in masterclasses with young students from schools and universities of the Cinema Academy, including Heather Graham, American cinema icon Alec Baldwin, Rocío Muñoz Morales and Riccardo Milani, Aurora Giovinazzo and Giacomo Giorgio.”
Simon Baker – star of series like The Mentalist and films such as The Devil Wears Prada– will receive the Filming Italy Excellence Award. Anouchka Delon will receive an award in memory of her father Alain.
Tiziana Rocca and the Festival direction. Tiziana Rocca is one of the rare female film festival directors in the world. She founded Filming Italy Los Angeles and Filming Italy Special Venice, and will direct the Taormina Film Festival. “The path for women is certainly uphill. I’ve been doing this work for many years – 8 years with Filming Italy Sardegna, 10 years with Filming Italy Los Angeles – and within my festivals, I’ve always tried to support women in the film world.” Rocca believes “we need many more female directors who tell beautiful and interesting stories that highlight women’s roles. This year we renew our collaboration with Women in Film, Television & Media Italia, which will present three debut works by emerging female directors to the Festival audience. I think the path is now underway, so we hope that many women will choose other women. A woman must work twice as hard to prove her worth – this is a rule in all professions – so it takes a lot of determination, tenacity, and willpower.” Rocca received the Industry Excellence Award at Cannes, presented by the French Riviera Festival for “her continuous contribution to the festival industry, and the talent and passion she infuses into it.”
The guests will engage in masterclasses with young students from schools and universities of the Cinema Academy: “We want to bring young people closer to this art form and – why not – encourage them to choose careers in cinema. This year, the Filming Italy Sardegna poster is linked to the importance of movie theaters, which absolutely must not close, as they represent fundamental cultural centers where young people meet.” More than 50 titles will be screened, including films, documentaries, and television series, both international and Italian, many as absolute premieres.
The guests of Filming Italy Sardegna. In past years, Filming Italy Sardegna has hosted personalities such as Laura Dern, Richard Gere, Harvey Keitel, Elizabeth Olsen, Heather Graham, Valeria Golino, Vanessa Hudgens, Winston Duke, Édgar Ramírez, Justin Hartley, Matt Dillon, Isabelle Huppert, Eva Longoria, Lola Ponce, Christopher Walken, Dennis Quaid, Dominic West, and Alessandro Nivola.
