Digitalisation: Unlocking the Potential of SMEs in Oman

Mobilk - Mobilk - Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME’s) are known for their potential to support a nation’s economy and the 23,000+ registered SME’s in Oman are an absolute asset. Understanding the importance of its ability to create much needed jobs in the country whilst contributing to national income and revenues, Ooredoo has focused a sizable amount of their brand strategy to support SME’s by way of promoting the benefits of digitalisation to unlock their full potential.

Digitalisation is the process of changing a current business model to incorporate various digital strategies and technology into the company. The objective is to use available technology to generate new revenues and value-producing opportunities in a more efficient and affordable manner. The benefits to SMEs embracing digitalisation are endless and include opportunities to compete against larger organisations, automating time-consuming tasks and transforming into a highly productive and efficient enterprise, to name just a few. These advantages will not only be conducive to the further development of the SMEs but will also bring about new experiences for their customers.
