Digital Excellence Award
The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) has given significant consideration to Arabic web content, as part of its role to enhance utilization of Information & Communication Technology in the Arabic world and aiming to spread out the amount of Arabic content into the Internet space, whereas this amount is not balanced to number of Arabic speakers.
In addition, it is very obvious that number of Arabic websites is continuously increased; especially the Saudi ones, simultaneously with their users.
Accordingly, MCIT and in compliance with the National Communications & Information Technology Plan (NCITP), has presented the “Digital Excellence Award” (RAQMI) since 2005, which focuses not only on the quality of organizations specialized in Internet Services Business but also the quality of Arabic web content in various branches determined by scientific, announced evaluation standards.
The Arbitration committee consists of More than 50 specialized members, who have been wisely selected. Every competing Arabic website is inspected by independent arbitrators and specialists from all sectors (Academe, Government, and Private).
RAQMI arbitration system is a sophisticated system used as a portal containing a database of all of the evaluation measures as well as settings & configurations of each series.
