In reported speech, the phrase said that is used to share what someone said in a different way, not using their exact words. The word that is optional and often left out in everyday speech. For example:
Direct speech: We need to update the software.
Reported speech: He said that we need to update the software. or He said we need to update the software.
Both versions are correct and mean the same thing.
