Recognising the Company’s service to the nation during the COVID-19 pandemic by way of accelerating digital technology’s reach to businesses in the region, the Capital Finance International magazine (cfi.co ) has conferred Omantel with the Best Digital Transformation Leadership (GCC) Award, 2021. The award further emphasizes Omantel’s position as the market leader that puts the country first.
Omantel, the Sultanate’s leading integrated telecommunications services provider and its trusted digital enabler, has driven Oman to be among a host of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states at the vanguard of Fourth Industrial Revolution, and is fast turning its digital transformation goals into reality. Omantel is embedding futuristic communications and network technology into every aspect of the nation’s functioning through smart solutions, the Internet of Things “IoT”, Artificial Intelligence and other frontier technologies.
The award categorically recognises the efforts of Omantel as it rose from just being a telecom company to be an ally in the Omani government’s fight against COVID-19, with multi-pronged measures.
Acknowledging the award, Talal bin Said al Mamari, CEO of Omantel said, “We at Omantel are ecstatic as our efforts for society continue to show results in the form of convenience, continuity of business, healthcare, education etc and most importantly safety, during the pandemic. This recognition humbles as well as encourages us. Omantel is a people’s company and it continues to leverage its strengths to make lives of people better and function of organisations more efficient. The award is a boost for us to fast track our future plans that will continue to revolutionise the way Omani society functions. Our timely network upgrades coupled with the 5G roll out in late 2019 formed the base on which solutions to face COVID-19 were built. We are confident that Omantel will continue to offer better solutions to every sector of Oman’s growing economy.”
