The ITA is responsible for the execution of all national eGovernment projects to create the required national infrastructure systems and build human resource capacity within the community. Currently, the ITA is playing an impeccable role in harnessing technology, to improve efficiencies and processes, in every sphere. In the last few years, the authority has taken several steps, which deserves much appreciation and accolade. The ongoing initiatives and drive by ITA ensure that people here in Oman have access to the best available technologies for a more sophisticated and secure IT driven society. ITA has launched several flagship projects. Some of these include:

e.oman Awareness The Official eGovernment Services Portal National ePayment Gateway Government Network National Data Center Innovation and Support Center National IT Training and Awareness Standard Framework eTransactions Law

Facilitating easeAll of the ITA projects are linked to public services and have enabled greater public convenience. Most notably is the implementation of the Official eGovernment Services Portal. The Official eGovernment Services Portal is the main entry point to the Government system and its services. www.oman.om caters to all individuals in the Sultanate of Oman, and bridges the gap between government bodies and citizens, businesses, and visitors. A key benefit of the portal, it can be accessed by anyone, from anywhere, and at anytime. Aiding in the transformation of Oman into a sustainable Knowledge Society, the Official eGovernment Services Portal uses digital technologies to improve the efficiency of internal processes and is designed to serve the public quickly, effectively, and in an interactive manner.

The ePayment Gatway (ePG) provides an operational component to eGovernance infrastructure and eCommerce facilities that allow secure online payments or electronic payments. The ePG supports multiple banks and operates as a critical shared service within the eGovernance architecture along with Omans forthcoming Official eGovernment Services Portal. The state-of-the-art ePayment solution supports the delivery of electronic services in the public sector and assists the private sectors move into eCommerce. Therefore, if you are able to pay your utility bills from the convenience of your home or office using your credit card, then it is thanks to the ePG.

The ePG by the ITA is a robust and secure ePG, which enables the public to pay for government services electronically using major local and international credit and debit cards, and in future, other electronic payment instruments such as the ePurse.The ePurse, introduced as part of the national eGovernance initiative, will revolutionise all transactions in future. To activate the ePurse on existing ID cards, one has to visit the office of the Directorate General of Civil Status (DGCS) near Muscat. In future all new ID cards will come with built-in ePurse functionality. In the second phase, customers will have the option of loading the ePurse with cash at other banks too. In the initial stages, the ePurse will be used only for government and ROP services, but once the pilot phase runs successfully, it will cover a wide range of transactions. The ITA must be complimented for the ePurse, as it is the first of its kind in the region.

Jointly owned by Oman Oil Company, Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC - TAQA and Rio Tinto Alcan, Sohar Aluminium reached full capacity on 19 February 2009. It currently produces 375,000 metric tonnes of aluminium per year and uses the latest, most effective technology in its aluminium production processes making it the most modern aluminium smelter in the world. A feather in the cap was its achievement of the 1 millionth tonne of aluminium production in August 2011.

Sohar Aluminium focuses on a number of important aspects besides its production. Omanisation, which currently stands at 70% of its workforce, is a driving force within the organisation that consists of 1,000 staff and is responsible for a further 2,500 indirect jobs. The companys target by 2015 is to be 85% Omanised. The development of its young employees is paramount and with that in mind, Sohar Aluminium has launched a training academy which will give each and every employee the opportunity for further learning.

18

The company is an important part of the Sultanates long term vision and in addition to its direct impact, Sohar Aluminium is very proud of the fact that 56% of its spend is in the local market which equated to US$50 million for the year 2010 and a 0.6% contribution to the Omans GDP. It has also established a growing network of local downstream companies that are supplied with high purity liquid aluminium - Oman Aluminium Processing Industries Limited (OAPIL) and Oman Aluminium Rolling Company (OARC) which is under construction.

Sohar Aluminium believes in giving back to the community and thus has a strong Corporate Social Responsibility framework in place. It has invested US$ 1 million in 2010 and will invest US$1.750 million this year for its CSR programmes in the Sohar and Al Batinah regions.

Sohar Aluminium is at the forefront to support various initiatives and it is pleased to be associated with the Oman Web Awards as a sponsor for the Engineering and Manufacturing category. Having been on the winners podium last year Sohar Aluminium hopes to motivate other companies to give their website due importance and strive to win this award. The Engineering and Manufacturing sector in Oman is a cornerstone of Omans 2020 vision to diversify its economy away from oil and gas dependency. By sponsoring this category Sohar Aluminium believes it is contributing in its own way to help the diversification process.

The Oman Web Awards also serves to recognise the importance that organisations place on having an online presence that is accessible to a wider audience in an era where the Internet has made businesses global in the true sense of the word.

Sohar Aluminium wishes all participants of Oman Web Awards the very best of luck.

Column by Tariq Hilal Al-Barwani, Founder & President of Knowldegeoman.com KnowledgeOman.com (KO) is an idea which was born for making knowledge available freely to everyone in the country, a journey of spreading and sharing knowledge in the online community. The project was launched in April 2008. The Arabic section was launched in August the same year.

The portal has introduced various initiatives for the country and continues to expand with its scope. As a result, ties have been made with reputed organisations, including Microsoft and other government bodies such as the Information Technology Authority (ITA). It is also associated with Tawasul, Dar Al Attaa, Omani Womens Association and Emax to name a few. The projects of KnowledgeOman.com are set to connect communities with knowledge and promote the countrys talent.

It is the only website that doesnt entertain gossips, flames or the likes of non-productive discussion/communications in anyway. Furthermore the website was launched as a community initiative to solidify His Majesty the Sultan Qaboos vision of transforming Oman into a knowledge based society. It is not owned by anyone but rather the people themselves. Over 70 volunteers are working on various initiatives associated with KnowledgeOman.com.

We do not consider ourselves as a website but rather a community driven initiative. Every project we undertake is totally free for community development, which is primarily sharing and making knowledge free. We have educational seminars conducted on a periodic basis, besides online school and classes. We also initiate charity campaigns and online quiz competitions, in addition to a community speaks channel where renowned industry and academic experts and professionals come together to share their knowledge.

For starters, KO wants to create a physical body/version of the online school where people are educated beyond the electronic medium. It also wants to ensure the community and organizations are linked together. This is to be achieved by continuing to close the gaps and providing access from organisations to the community and vice versa. The website also aims to open and export local talents to the world through software development and anything that contributes to providing solutions to real-world problems be it business or the like. And finally and above all else, KO aims to become the hub of knowledge about and from Oman to the world.

Khimji Ramdas (KR) is an integral part of the Omani heritage since 1870. Trusted and respected in Oman for more than a century (142 years), KR has consistently maintained its leadership position in the Consumer, Infrastructure and Industrial arenas.

Headquartered in the Sultanate of Oman, the group has multi-national operations in India, UAE & Africa. The 35 business divisions under 4 groups of Consumer Products, Luxury & Lifestyle, Infrastructure, and Projects & Logistics cater to a diverse range of activities spanning from manufacturing, trading, training, distribution to retailing and restaurants.

Being a socially responsible business house, the idea of reaching out to the community at large and listening to them was imperative. Our endeavor to connect with our customers in Sultanate of Oman and people outside Oman took shape in 2007, with the setting up of KR Bright Sparks Khimji Blog, a social media initiative.

The Khimji Blog became the first corporate blog in Oman to connect the external world with KR.

It has today become the interactive hub for those who want to know more about the organization, its people, brands, products, services and promotions in real time. It is a platform for our visitors/customers to address their suggestions, complaints and valuable feedback.

We share, we hear and we resolve. We constantly engage with our blog patrons for resolving their queries, generating leads for KR divisions and also connecting people with each other.

The direct feedback from our blog patrons on their experiences is given high importance and relevant issues are addressed at the highest level and corrective action is taken where ever necessary. Thus living up to our core values of Trust, Care and Commitment. Building transparency and relationships has helped us better our processes.

This proactive listening and learning has made us better. Our blog (www.khimjiblog.com) is also mirrored on our Facebook pages (www.facebook.com/khimjiramdas). Do visit us and like us on fb to get the latest new and promotions at KR. We would love to be connected with you and know what you think about our brands and our ventures.

In June 2010, KR took another major step towards connecting better with its customers. We rejuvenated our Toll-free helpline number 800-75000 by inaugurating a fully-operational outsourced facility at Knowledge Oasis Muscat. Professionally adept Customer Care officers are trained to apprise customers with the latest at KR, including accurate information on people, brands, retail, promotions and location - with just one call.
