The Information Age

It has become an established fact that the age we live in these days is the age of communication and information. Over the last decade or so, entire oceans of information have formed, and continue to expand by the moment. Any piece of data has now become available and accessible to everyone – young and old – anywhere in the world, and time and distance are no longer considered barriers that impede the ongoing quest for knowledge.

Along with this enormous human contribution that manifested with the rise of the Internet, came new challenges and requirements that ultimately defined this era and its technology. As these endless oceans of information are continually nourished by the world’s organizations, businesses, institutes, individuals and others, there appeared the need for tools that share a unified goal: helping all knowledge seekers effortlessly and swiftly sail these oceans and find their destinations, where they would then be rewarded by the availability and authenticity of the information they embarked to search for, and ultimately contribute by adding to and enriching this human experience further and further.

Globally, measuring the progress and development of a nation or organization has become fundamentally associated with the amount of information and services they contribute to the Internet. Most organizations with an online presence have developed and utilized various tools through which relevant information and services are offered to their customers. In the Arab World, the process of developing these tools is considered one if the most significant challenges in this field, because even with the numerous efforts set forth by several organizations, and in spite of the relative success that some of these efforts have enjoyed, the road ahead is still long and we are only beginning to take the first steps just now. This challenge is typically demonstrated by how successful Internet system developers have been in integrating the Arabic language and implementing it in these tools, taking into account the fact that it is the native language of more than 300 million Arabs, and the second language of around 1 billion Muslims worldwide.

The Concept

The core idea of IraqDirectory.com is based on providing its subscribers – namely Iraqi businesses – with exceptional tools and services that help them establish their own websites, in order to provide them with a prominent and highly accessible bi-lingual (English and Arabic) online presence. In addition to that, those subscribers will have their sites listed and categorized within a comprehensive business directory, created specifically to cater for those businesses. This will provide all IraqDirectory.com visitors with access to a fully searchable database of Iraqi businesses via an ample and efficient search engine. In addition to that, visitors will also gain access to the various products and services offered by these businesses, which will be made available through a dedicated section of the site.

The Subscribers

IraqDirectory.com subscribers will initially have the opportunity to choose from one of the » three major plans that are currently on offer, in addition to several other elective secondary options. This would provide enough flexibility to each registered business, in order to easily cater for the relevant services and products they intend to promote through their websites.

So why are we different?

The most important factor that distinguishes IraqDirectory.com from other online directories is the independence that it provides to each of its subscribers. What this means is that each subscriber’s site will be provided with a unique web address (URL), which can be used by visitors to access that site directly, without having to go through IraqDirectory.com first. This is, of course, in addition to the ability to find the subscriber’s site through IraqDirectory.com’s own search engine.


That, in brief, is the major objective of IraqDirectory.com. If you have any further queries, suggestions or comments, then do not hesitate to » contact us - we would love to hear from you.
