In a strategic move to bolster the nation’s business ecosystem, Qatar’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), through its Qatar Digital Academy, has partnered with Microsoft to deliver a series of awareness sessions aimed at helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) adopt modern digital tools. The initiative is a key component of the broader SMEs Go Digital Program.
The sessions, held at the Digital Center of Excellence, are designed to equip SMEs with the necessary skills to improve productivity, streamline operations, and pave the way for sustainable growth in an increasingly digital economy.
Boosting Productivity with Microsoft Tools
The first session focused on Microsoft’s suite of productivity applications, providing hands-on training for local businesses. Experts demonstrated how tools for collaboration, time management, and information sharing can significantly enhance teamwork and operational efficiency.
The training included real-world case studies, illustrating practical applications of these digital solutions across various work environments and empowering attendees to implement them within their own organisations.
Streamlining Operations with Business Central
A second session was dedicated to Microsoft Business Central, an integrated business management system. Participants were given an in-depth look at how the platform unifies financial operations, supply chain management, sales, and inventory data.
Practical use cases highlighted Business Central’s capacity to deliver actionable insights, enabling better planning, faster decision-making, and a scalable framework for comprehensive digital transformation.
A Strategic Push for Digital Readiness
These training sessions are part of a wider series under the SMEs Go Digital Program, which targets key sectors vital to Qatar’s economy, including tourism, education, healthcare, retail, and logistics.
The initiative directly supports the goals of Qatar’s Digital Agenda 2030, which aims to cultivate an innovative and robust business environment by strengthening the digital capabilities and future-readiness of its SMEs.
