How ARO Drilling Unified IT Operations to Drive Faster Service Delivery

Executive Summary

ARO Drilling, a Saudi Aramco–Valaris joint venture, was growing fast—and needed an IT infrastructure that could keep up with their expansion across Saudi Arabia’s offshore sector.

Alnafitha IT partnered with ARO to build a modern IT foundation using ManageEngine: ServiceDesk Plus, PAM360, and Endpoint Central.

The outcome: faster response times, higher resolution rates, and an infrastructure ready to support ARO’s next phase of growth.

The Challenge

When ARO launched operations, they recognized the importance of establishing a solid IT service management foundation from day one. However, as the business grew, their initial systems began showing limitations that threatened operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Legacy Telephony Limitations

The existing telephony system struggled to keep pace with ARO’s expansion. Key pain points included:
  • Scalability constraints that couldn’t accommodate growing call volumes
  • Integration gaps preventing seamless data flow between systems
  • Limited customer experience capabilities affecting service quality

The Need for a Full-scale IT Framework

ARO needed more than a quick fix. They required an integrated ecosystem that would support IT service management, security, asset management, and customer communications—all aligned with industry best practices.

The Solution

Alnafitha Information Technology partnered with ARO to design and implement a complete IT management ecosystem built on ManageEngine’s enterprise solutions.
Solution Business Impact
ServiceDesk Plus ITIL-aligned service desk with automated ticket routing, SLA management, and comprehensive reporting
PAM360 Privileged access management securing critical accounts with session recording and automated password rotation
Endpoint Central Unified endpoint management for devices, patches, and software deployment across the organization

Why ServiceDesk Plus?

After evaluating multiple options, ARO selected ServiceDesk Plus for several compelling reasons:
  • Intuitive interface enabling quick team adoption
  • ITIL framework alignment ensuring industry best practices
  • Cost-effectiveness compared to enterprise alternatives
  • Native integration with other ManageEngine products
