As part of its strategy which aims to update its members’ data and information, Qatar Chamber (QC) urged all 53,000 members to quickly update their contact information and data in its website.
The updating process entails number of steps such as filling out the online application including the owner’s personal information, name of the company, its sector, address, P O Box, e-mail and other related information. The new application is supported by the use of a “GPS” System to set the location of the company, said the Chamber in a press statement issued yesterday.
Qatar Chamber Director General Saleh Al Sharqi said that the Chamber is currently working on updating all members data in the frame of the Chamber’s plan to set up an integrated database. There are some companies that had changed information without notifying the Chamber and it is difficult to contact with these companies without providing us with new updated contacts.
The updating process enables companies to get informed on all activities and events of the Chamber, he said.
Developing a comprehensive database for our members came within the framework of the Qatar National Vision 2030 which seeks enhancement our position among all world chambers, said Al Sharqi. Al Anoud Zayed Al Mohannadi, Acting Director of Member Affairs Department said that the Chamber has exerted efforts to develop members’ data, pointing out that there is a close cooperation between the Chamber and the Ministry of Economy and Commerce regarding this affair.
"There is a joint committee with the Ministry follow up on all matters relating to QC members, and there is a link with the ministry to inform the Chamber on all update processes that take place in the Ministry," she added.
Mohannadi noted that updated data are very important for the members themselves, as it enhances the Chamber’s communication with them, it also enables companies to be familiar with our activities, meetings, trade delegations hosted by the Chamber and all exhibitions and conferences.
It also helps members to recognise the role played the Chamber in business community, whether at the local, regional or international level, and our services as well.
This database would facilitate our outreach with members to inform them by the government decisions, circulars, international agreements, brochures, publications and training courses, questionnaires, surveys, studies and research.
She urged all operating companies in Qatar to correct their data through a direct visit to the Chamber venue Department of Member Affairs, or via the website of the Camber, or by sending a fax or an e-mail attached with a copy of the valid commercial registration, copies of authorised signatories and partners identities.
