Ever since Internet services began in the UAE in 1995, Etisalat has been committed to employing state-of-the-art technology to provide its valued customers with value-added services and solutions that enhance their satisfaction levels and productivity. This has enabled the United Arab Emirates, within a short span of six years, to take its place in this virtually borderless world as the regional e-Economy hub.

We have partnered with NavLink to build significant parts of our IP infrastructure and for network and systems integration. Since its inception, a little over 5 years ago, NavLink has built up a strong reputation in the field of Internet consulting and systems integration, serving Telecommunication companies, Internet Service Providers and other Enterprise customers. This apart, NavLink's Internet business consultants are also working closely with us in the area of using the Internet as an educational tool

"We look forward to continuing this partnership in the years to come and are sure that together we will play a vital role in enhancing UAE's reputation as the regional e-Commerce hub." said Ms. Maroua Naim, General Manager Emirates Internet & Multimedia. Dubai Port Authority (DPA) is one of the leading transhipment centres in the world, serving more than 125 shipping lines. It is ranked amongst the leading container ports of the world.

DPA has since long been at the forefront of using advanced technology for operating the two Dubai ports. Therefore they have very early considered using the Internet and related technologies for further improving customer service and the interaction with their partners.

“During the development of DPA’s Internet Strategy, we have worked with NavLink Internet Business Consultants and defined a clear roadmap, of which MyDPA Portal is the first major element. The architecture, design and implementation of MyDPA Portal was a joint effort between DPA’s own IT team and NavLink, who ensured the required technology transfer and provided state-of-art network system integration skills. MyDPA has become a business critical tool that continues evolving by adding more functionalities. In less than 6 months more than 400 users have come on board. We have chosen to work with NavLink due to their professional approach and experience in building Portals.” Said Len. T. Chapman, Director of Corporate Planning and Information System.
