Abstract

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are critical to all economies, and Oman is no exception. These companies form 90 per cent of the corporate sector and have become a priority sector for the Government of the Sultanate. But in late 2017 and early 2018, these companies began to shrink. For two reasons, they were not supported by the government, and most small businesses used traditional techniques to market because of limited capacity. From here we looked for a way to enable government sectors to support companies and also to make all SMEs use modern marketing techniques, but we need to survey the SME market, assess the basic situation and needs of the SME sector. One reliable solution is the development of web services technologies based on the creation of an integrated portal for SMEs, so that anyone can obtain product information and ask each small and medium-sized company to increase sales and transactions from small and medium enterprises. Highly converged web services are the latest web technologies that can provide information to anyone who wants to use the SMES- portal, so that developers can access the methods and build web applications as needed. Hence, government sectors can communicate with all these companies without having any complexities. The results of this study are presented in the SME Portal framework and web-based application services. The expected result is the creation and implementation of SME-portal framework based on service of web given in this paper.
