Dr. Salim Sultan Al Ruzaiqi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Oman Information Technology Society, said, “The conference focused on the digital transformation programme, modern technologies and artificial intelligence.”
He pointed out that the conference reviewed some technologies and their impact on digital transformation in institutions, such as the economic impact and augmenting productivity in private sector establishments.
He added that the transformation brought about by technology in all fields has a fundamental impact on the digital transformation in the Sultanate of Oman. This transformation, he said, has an economic and technical basis, thus good preparation is a must for the future in terms of qualifying national cadres, changing specialisations, and qualifying employees.
