recruitment. The website furthermore acts as a self-service portal for
customers who can log-on and access up to date account history and billing
information.
The Nawras website was launched October 2004 and the current design was
launched in March 2005 when Nawras began commercial operations. The website
has attracted thousands of users and had million of page views so far, mainly
from Oman but also from international visitors. The website is bi-lingual and
information is kept daily up to date in both Arabic and English.
Nawras will in 2006 focus on attracting even more users on its website by
continuously adding more functionality — serving existing as well as future
customers.
Tariq Al Barwani, Nawras online manager, who received the awards at the
ceremony on behalf of Nawras said: “A big thank you to all loyal users of our
website — we are proud of this achievement and we will look forward to
improving our website consistently going forward to the benefit of existing
and future customers”.
