A trip to Towell...



On the 13th of march (Wednesday) our ICT teacher took us to a field trip to Mazda which belongs to Towell, there we had some people telling us a few things about the company, and these are some:
First of all the company was found or established in 1972, they had the car pieces from Japan, whereas the dealers are in Oman.
They have a long organizational structure in which the information are carried out in a specific system. Talking about system, they have a backup system for important data. There are many departments in  this company such as finance, human resources and many others, all these departments use devices which involve ICT technology to make their work efficient and a lot faster and easier.
They are using devices that is specific for safty, for example biometric fingerprints, before we entre to the
departments, we saw a device ( Biometric fingerprints ) this device store templates of various characteristics of different people. A person is authenticated by matching his or her characteristics with those stored in the template database. Amazingly, these devices based upon biometrics technology are made capable enough to carry out the process of verification in 1-2 seconds, even if the database has thousands of templates stored in it.
They don’t only have teleworkers but also remote area workers who use VPN technology to log into their user accounts, each 90 days the password is changed so no interference or hacking occurs. You can book things online, but you cant pay though. Towell also uses expert systems which help people to recognize what problem they are facing by answering a few questions.
One last thing is that people there where so welcoming and friendly, I'd love to work with people with such personalities.
Listening to all those sayings I concluded that
towel is a developed and up-to-date company which use modern technology. I really liked the trip and hope someday I own a company like Towell in the future.
