Wael Maged

Technology as an enabler is a must for companies, such as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially now that many businesses are migrating online, an official of a Doha-based solutions provider said in a recent webinar. Speaking at the online event titled ‘Running a Business a Mobile Device’, Wael Maged, the managing director of Advanced Solutions, discussed the challenges business owners are facing amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Headquartered at the Digital Incubation Centre (DIC), Maged said Advanced Solutions is one of the incubated startups at the DIC at the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MoTC). Maged’s presentation focused on how entrepreneurs and company owners could build an online business environment, and how to overcome the challenge of designing the business workflow, taking control over the team, and monitoring their performance while minimising the cost of expenses and maximising income and profit.
