BusinessToday - 50 who left their footprints
in 2007.
BusinessToday (Jan 2008 issue) has listed Mr. Janaki
Raman, General Manager - Bahwan IT as one among the
50 individuals, who left a mark in 2007.
| The magazine
writes "True success is often measured by the
difference that an individual makes to society.
Business Today takes a look at 50 such individuals
who left a mark in 2007, not just in business
but in a much wider sense, encompassing every
sphere of activity. Our list includes businessmen,
sports personalities, social workers, doctors,
environmentalists and even two children; the
one thing that all of them have in common is
that they dared to dream."
Bahwan IT was instrumental in IT-enabling
the Majlis A'Shura Elections held during October
2007.
BusinessToday wrote "The Majlis as 'Shura
elections in October 2007 stood out for a number
of reasons. One of those was the fact that Bahwan
IT designed a foolproof, zero-defect IT-enabling
system to conduct the election. This made Oman
the only country in the region to have a fully
automated election system. Says Raman, "It was
important for the sultanate as these elections
have high visibility." There were 50 personnel
from the international media covering the election
along with a number of representatives from
various governments and NGOs. The success of
the entire exercise can be gauged by the fact
that observers from Qatar have expressed interest
in following a similar process there."
BusinessToday is Oman's number one business
magazine, keeping readers updated on the happenings
in Oman's business world with incisive and insightful
reports.

Bahwan IT, IT enables the Majlis A'Shura
Elections
The Majlis A'Shura 6th term election was conducted
successfully on October 27th, 2007. 84 members
were elected to the Majlis A'Shura Council through polling
conducted in 61 wilayats of Oman.
Bahwan IT LLC was
contracted by Ministry of Interior, the main government
body to supervise and conduct the elections, for the
second successive Majlis elections to provide the complete
IT platform for this year’s polls. It has teamed
up with UK based Data Research and Services Ltd (DRS),
which specializes in providing IT services for elections,
censuses, and educational projects, as its technology
partners.
Bahwan IT’s scope of work spanned from providing
consultancy to the ministry on how the entire process
would be conducted to designing the ballot paper, providing
the vote sorting machine, software for the vote sorting,
logistics and training.
The design of the ballot papers was a challenge in
itself as 61 different ballot papers, one for each wilayat,
were printed along with color photographs of individual
candidates. They also had check digits and embedded
characters making duplication impossible. The ballot
papers’ features facilitated in fast identification
and counting. Bahwan IT brought state of the art PS900
e-Counting scanners from UK-based DRS. Using its Photo-Scribe
platform of technology, the DRS PS900 imaging scanner
validates every ballot paper as it is scanned. The PS900
combines the speed, accuracy and economy of Optical
Mark Recognition with the advantages of full or partial
ballot images.
|
Bahwan IT’s scope of work also included training 150
people from the Ministry of Justice to man the polling
stations, while an equal number from the company monitored
the process from a central hub. The company kept 12
flying squads ready with engineers and spare machines
that could be dispatched to any of the polling centres
in case of equipment malfunction to ensure that there
were no hiccups. “The entire process was planned meticulously;
nothing was left to chance,” Ramakrishna Sathyagopal,
Head Data Capture Solutions informed.
The success of the entire exercise in evident from the
fact that observers who had come from Qatar appreciated
the process so much that they would like to follow a
similar process back home. |
