Information Technology
Yekom has highlighted the use of modern technology as its new evolutionary approach and intended to be pioneer in methodology and service by creation and employing new technologies. For this purpose, with respect to technology, appropriate mechanisms and business friendly tools and practices were studied, executed and used to support other divisions of the firm.
Taking advantage of information technology at all dimensions (computer network, intranet, internet, email, etc), Management Information Systems (MIS), Project Control and Planning, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and finally Quality Management Systems (QMS) is Yekom's approach towards development and technology. In this respect, Yekom has proved its ability by implementing environmental systems and management projects for other organizations.
