Total e-messages sent to parties in lawsuits reach over 11.8 million during first half of 2025
Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — The Ministry of Justice revealed that the total number of notifications sent via electronic messages to parties in lawsuits accounted for more than 11.8 million during the first half of 2025. Electronic notification has contributed to enhancing the effectiveness of the first court session and reducing procedures, leading to a shorter litigation period. This in turn enhances judicial quality and ensures judicial guarantees for parties in the lawsuit. This comes within the framework of the digital transformation taking place in the judicial sector, where notification is currently carried out via text messages through mobile phones registered with Absher, instead of previous traditional methods that required time and effort. This has contributed to a reduction in the postponement of sessions resulting from the inability to notify a party, and has also contributed to the regular processing of cases on time. This progress represents a fundamental shift in the concept of litigation, as technology has become a key element in achieving prompt justice and providing a more transparent and effective experience for litigants, keeping pace with modern requirements and enhancing community confidence in the judicial system.

Experience at the edge: Redefining CX for Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030
In 2016, Saudi Arabia launched Vision 2030, a sweeping national agenda to future-proof its economy, reduce reliance on oil and enhance quality of life for citizens. Built around the pillars of a vibrant society, a thriving economy and an ambitious nation, the initiative has become synonymous with rapid innovation—driven by investments in AI, cloud computing, smart cities and digital government. Today, these efforts are visible everywhere, from biometric border controls to AI-powered health platforms and cashless pilgrimages. Yet amid all this progress, a critical question has emerged: as infrastructure transforms and services go digital, is the customer experience transforming with th ailability of advanced technologies, many businesses—and even institutions—still rely on em or being left behind? While government platforms like Absher and Tawakkalna have raised the bar for ease and accessibility, not all sectors have kept pace. Despite the surge in connectivity and the av fragmented, one-size-fits-all communication systems that fall short of citizen expectations. A connected nation, rising expectations In 2025, Saudi Arabia stands as one of the most digitally advanced nations in the region: It has 36.84 million internet users, with 99% penetration About 94.3% of the population is active on social media, with 35.1 millions About %93.18% use smartphones to go online (Statista) . But this level of access is only the beginning. The real transformation lies in what people are now demanding—seamless, intelligent and hyper-personalised digital interactions across every touch point. What's needed now is a shift from reactive CX models—common in sectors like finance, where customer issues are often addressed only after complaints—to proactive engagement. The current CX gap stems from organizations' inability to break down data silos, integrate touchpoints and provide seamless service across channels. Despite having the infrastructure for advanced digital engagement, many businesses still lack the tools and processes to deliver personalised, anticipatory service that customers now expect. This gap not only hampers customer satisfaction but also limits the ability of businesses to fully leverage their investments in digital transformation. As highlighted in IDC's Future of Customer Experience 2024 predictions, businesses must unify data, channels and insights to meet rising expectations and fully capitalise on their digital infrastructure investments. In short, the infrastructure is advancing, but experience delivery hasn't fully caught up. To realise Vision 2030's full potential, closing this CX gap must become a priority, not just in government, but across every industry shaping Saudi Arabia's future. Saudi Arabia's journey to 2030 is one of extraordinary ambition and real, measurable progress. And if the goal is a society that's not just digital, but truly human-centred, then the way people experience these services must evolve alongside the infrastructure itself. By closing communication gaps and enabling smarter engagement, solutions like engageX are helping organisations transform Vision 2030 from a strategic vision into a lived reality, one meaningful interaction at a time. Customer experience that is real, responsive and relevant is no longer a competitive advantage, it's a national imperative. Whether in the public or private sector, organisations must now rethink not just how they serve, but how they connect, listen and adapt.
