In the current era of globalization, information and communication technology (ICT) is one of the main pillars in the development of any nation. It offers ample opportunities for the modernisation of public administration work, thereby facilitating business. The e-Oman project initiated by the government of Oman to implement e-Government in Oman has worked wonders for the businesses and individuals by making them more competitive and transparent. The country’s Digital-Oman vision plan encompasses e-Government as well as digital society issues. It aims to create an effective government-community-citizen infrastructure which is likely to provide better public services to people and make Oman a more attractive destination for foreign investment. For the successful transformation of government into e-Government services e-readiness is an imperative factor to appraise. This research attempts to unravel the, e-Oman initiative and perform an e-readiness assessment using the e-readiness framework coming up with an e-readiness index for GCC countries with a focus on Oman. The result shows that Oman is ranked high among GCC countries and this is a testimony of the robustness of its e-Oman initiatives. Key Words: e-readiness, e-government, G-Cloud, ICT.
