Client Overview
The Royal Army of Oman protects the sovereignty of Oman. In terms of proficiency, RAO is well equipped to the extent that external aggression is now realistically deterred. The Omani army is qualitatively superior to that of many neighboring countries.

Problem Faced

The ever increasing need of collaboration within military structures is becoming one of the imminent shifts in military sciences. The invention of the telegraph, fax, cell phones and the early attempts of document sharing aren’t adequate enough for how most militaries would like their infrastructure to operate. Ever increasing importance of collaboration is seen as the next step of having meaningful information shared within minutes without having to go through the cumbersome approval or documentation procedures. Since the world has gone far enough for the old fashioned procedures a highly efficient communication system also effects decision power of militaries as well as making them applicable in the correct time interval. RAO was previously lacking document management system where they can store/retrieve/centrally access documents to be used around the department. It was their tire need as it was affecting them big time.

Implemented Solution
KalSoft proposed Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2010 as a solution with integrated document management system and workflow management system, which had given RAO a flavor of all main areas of the proposed product. KalSoft ensured RAO to realize the full potential of the product being used, and because of that RAO started taking benefits from the diverse range of features for improved efficiency and productivity in their business workplace. KalSoft assisted RAO in the fulfillment of their organizational needs of managing documents and workspaces, as well as specialized applications, reports and discussion panes from within a closed infrastructure or a site.
