As part of its efforts to introduce users to the numerous e-government services and their function, the Ministry of Finance and Industry (MOFI) yesterday held a workshop on e-messaging in cooperation with e-Company and federal government technical managers. The workshop aims at educating users on the different functions and advantages of the e-messaging service. It is, in tandem with other e-government projects, aimed at upgrading the efficiency of government services, according to Maha Al-Aidarous, Deputy Director of the Information Systems Department at MOFI.
The government's collaboration with e-Company in all e-government services will also ensure that the project is supported with the most secure and advanced software, Al-Aidarous said, praising the firm as "a pioneer is offering technical services."
E-messaging guarantees fast and efficient communication between government employees and different federal entities, thus ensuring prompt decision-making and problem solving when needed, Al-Aidarous noted. It will, as such, be linked to other e-government projects and services.
The e-government steering committee met last week to follow up on the progress of implementation of the initiative, which, according to MOFI officials, is going according to plan.
E-government is one of several initiatives undertaken by MOFI to upgrade and develop government services as well as promote public-private sector partnership.
