aware of offered e-Government Services and prefer to interact with the Government
electronically.
The Omani IT industry is provided with the resources and tools to transform IT business ideas into
products and services that address market needs and requirements of the Government to
modernize and enhance infrastructure, applications and services. Entrepreneurs are trained and
offered a healthy business environment to grow.
Government services will be made more efficient, automated and offered online to citizens,
businesses, employees and other Government agencies. e-Services shall be integrated end-to-end
across agencies and offered in a seamless manner online with high level of availability, security
and usability.
Government Infrastructure and applications will be modernized and made more compliant to
common Government standards published by ITA and will be geared towards achieving service
automation, efficiency and the desired level of business continuity.
Government IT staff will be highly trained and able to operate increasingly complex
infrastructures through training and skills development programs aligned with the utilized
technology and architecture standards.”
