  1. Jordan Industrial Estates Corporation (JIEC) e-SkillsProfessional skills, necessary in the new information Society

  2. Introduction The business value of information technology (IT) strategies is a major concern for us (the return on investment in hardware and software as the definition of business value.) A couple of years ago ,we took the approach to the IT business value by examining whether we would enjoy a better business value efficiencies if different IT deployment strategies were used such as interactive web site or informational web site or no web site at all . Our research indicated that by using the strategy of interactive web site would have greater overall and asset efficiency than that of an informational web site because it gives our business the potential to be up and running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, around the world. . Our analysis showed no statistical difference in personnel and operational cost efficiencies would occur.

  3. IT Development at JIEC Before 1997 The number of PC’s within the Corp. did not exceed (10) stand alone PC’s ie there wasn’t any servers or a local area network (LAN) After 1997 The new management ,by that time, realized the importance of IT in increasing the work productivity and accelerating the decision making process .So according to this vision plans were on the way targeted for development and building an infrastructure that will be able to be upgraded with ease . This was carefully planned with concentration on two major aspects :

  4. i) HR training E-Skills IT user skills are the key to the modern world . Abiding by the above phrase ,training was given to all our employees . This covers the IT-related skills of all individuals (employees) who are not IT professionals, ranging from basic e-mail and word processing through to web design and sophisticated database, desktop publishing and spreadsheet skills . Because IT is widely acknowledged to be the new literacy requirement to this Century, and almost all businesses use information and communication technologies, our needs were for an employee base that is competent in and enthusiastic about the use of IT.

  5. We recognized that a generic gap in IT user skills amongst our current employees was one of the most significant problems we faced. There was an urgent need both to increase demand for skills and to improve our ability to meet this demand through appropriate training and qualifications. The Skills Framework for the Information Age enables us to carry out a range of HR activities against a common framework of reference - including skill audit, planning future skill requirements, development programs, standardization of job titles and functions, and resource allocation. ii) Building a good infrastructure which will be able to be upgraded with ease.

  6. Infrastructure • This was done in phases in order to keep up with up to date technologies. • -(6) Servers are used for Domain Controllers , RDBMS ,e-mail, Web Application Servers • (140) PC’s are in use • - Networks (LAN and WAN) were installed connected by leased lines

  7. Programs / Software in use Some of the programs that are in use at JIEC : • - Windows 2000 Advanced Server • - Oracle RDBMS • - Oracle Web Application Server • - MS Exchange • - Audio Video Conferencing • - Automated Checks • Electronic Archiving • Interactive Web site

  8. Future Projects Some of our future projects are : • use of “ Workflow “ program for a paperless environment. • Introducing the “ Extranet “ aspect of work (in order to let industrial investors to • surf their files within the Corp.).

  9. We are sure that the next several years will witness dramatic advances in Web technologies, standards, e-knowledge marketplaces, enterprise infrastructures, processes, as well as individual and organizational capabilities to handle e-knowledge. We also know for sure that in the Knowledge Economy, individuals and enterprises that share and process their knowledge most effectively have a great advantage. To keep up, most of us will need an order-of-magnitude leap in our ability to handle knowledge. This won’t happen without a genuine transformation in the ways in which knowledge is created, managed, repurposed, combined, exchanged and experienced. Participation should be mandatory for all in hoping to achieve success in the Knowledge Economy.
