?The Bahrain Olympic Committee (BOC) and Bahrain’s telecommunications company VIVA recently signed an agreement to provide the e-link infrastructure between the committee’s main building and other related-bodies’ facilities at Isa Town and Khalifa Sports Cities, as well as the Sports Training and Development Section in Juffair.
The deal was signed by BOC acting general secretary Abdulrahman Askar and VIVA Bahrain chief executive officer Alyan Al Wateed, in the presence of Information Technology director Nawaf Abdulrahman and a number of VIVA representatives.
On this occasion, Askar said the linking the BOC and its subsidiary buildings is in line with the committee strategy aimed to boost the efficiency of its services to sport movement in the Kingdom, due to the positive dimensions of this project in terms of connectivity and communication between the main management and the rest of the directorates and divisions, which reinforces the speed of the transactions and would also increase the productivity.
He pointed out that the project will contribute to expand the base of taking advantage of electronic services offered by the BOC to include all departments and divisions, such as Internet services, telephone landlines and related regulations to financial and human resources, and to share files and reports between directorates and sections.
Askar added that e-link of the BOC and its buildings represents the first step in an attempt to implementation of comprehensive linking between the committee and all sports federations in line with the future plan aimed at upgrade administrative work in the federations.
On his part, Abdulrahman stated that the project will help the committee cope with the growing development in the field of information technology and communications. It also leads to override the location element in the administrative process, as all other directorates and sections’ employees will be able to take advantage of the same electronic services that are available in the main building with ease.
