GOIC Secretary General Mr. Abdulaziz Al-Ageel stated: "Many factors drove this change, the first being technical: the increasing number of web surfers and the variety of web surfing means make it imperative to keep up with this technological advancement." He added: "The second factor is the transformation of internet users' mentality: the new lifestyle set by the latest technologies including smart phones and social media created a comprehensive change that was taken into consideration while developing our new website."
Al-Ageel opined: "The change in business management is also among the main reasons behind the renovation of our website; GOIC is expanding its business activities, services and products to cover as many sectors as possible and this should all be posted on the website and be accessible to all."
The new web design allows GOIC to feature in top results of internet search engines. It is a flexible and modern design with a user-friendly interface and several links that allow users to choose specific sections according to their needs. This reflects GOIC's commitment to facilitate users' access to information they seek.
