Single point of access to e-Government from KO  

MUSCAT — KnowledgeOman.com, an IT knowledge-sharing portal, has launched a single point of access interface to all of the electronic government services in Oman. The new link (KO e-Gateway) is very simple and direct so everyone in Oman can use it easily for e-Services via the KnowledgeOman.Com

Tariq Hilal Al Barwani, the founder and president of KnowledgeOman said: “The government sector has done an amazing job of introducing an electronic means where public can do their day-to-day transactions simply via the world-wide web. We have realised that it is important that we combine all the entry points into a single link under one roof, and therefore we have created KO e-Gateway to serve the community in Oman”. Muddasir Rizvi, IT project manager of KnowledgeOman, added: “KO e-Gateway connects the community in Oman to useful, educational websites, and governmental institutions where users can track their traffic fines, follow-up with university applications or even get their latest stock market updates from the Muscat Securities Market website. KO e-Gateway is all about finding links that really connect you to e-Government in Oman”.
