Omantel’s strategy is formulated by placing ‘customer first’ at the core of the organisation. Going forward, our six-years customer-centric strategy “Omantel 3.0” is focused on ensuring the most agile, effective way of providing services and the best experience by exceeding customer expectations at all times.”
Eng Aladdin Abdullah Baitfadhil, General Manager of Service Delivery at Omantel, added: “Omantel undertook four innovative initiatives under the Fast Broadband Excellence Program to improve the overall customer experience that could be measured through customer satisfaction score. Among these initiatives is “Preconnected Home” to facilitate zero touch provisioning which enables customers to apply for services from the comfort of their homes. As a result, we have successfully reached a record time of five minutes for provisioning home broadband. Currently four largest property developers — Al Mouj Muscat, Hawana, Muriya and Muscat Bay — have signed up for this service and a few more are in the pipeline”.
“The second initiative was “Real Time Order Tracking” which enable any fast broadband service seeker to easily track the status of the service request through Real Time Order Tracking system which is embedded in the Omantel website,” he added.
“We have also launched “Smart Field Force Management” under the guidance of ISO 9001 of quality framework, to manage installation, fault orders and to measure performance of technicians. Field technicians can complete the task and update the status online using smart devices. The innovative smart features allow Omantel to track each request in detail with quality KPIS,” Aladdin further pointed out.
