Transforming Government since 2001
Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) on Sunday organised a seminar in association with Oman’s Information Technology Authority at Holiday Inn Muscat Hotel to facilitate exchange of e-governance best practices and thought leadership between the two countries.

IDA International, the execution arm of IDA for public service ICT collaboration between Singapore and countries around the world, shared Singapore’s change management strategies in adopting and implementing e-governance.

The seminar also discussed how advancements in ICT are transforming daily operations of the public sector workforce, and explored ways to bring about greater efficiency and productivity in governance for better public service delivery.

Kevin Chan, centre director, Middle East Office, IDA said, “The relationship between Oman and Singapore is very close. In Singapore we have been experiencing e-government for the last 30 years. We have encountered challenges in the process and have also learnt from our faults. We are here to learn from Oman’s e-Government and also share our experience.”

IDA will be leading a delegation of five Singapore tech companies to showcase their high quality innovations at COMEX 2014, which begins on Monday. From secure mobile communications solutions that protect privacy on mobile devices to mobility solutions that allow for fleet and asset tracking, the Singapore companies will showcase cutting-edge technology that are in line with the key theme of this year’s COMEX - 'Mobility'.

Vincent Wong, CEO of IDA International, said, “Singapore sees Oman as a valuable partner in ICT collaboration as both countries recognise ICT as a key enabler in improving the quality of lives of our citizens. We have led a strong line-up of some of Singapore’s leading tech companies to participate in this year’s COMEX. This reinforces our commitment to forge stronger partnerships between the two infocomm industries and contribute to developing the blueprint for Oman’s ICT development.”

CrimsonLogic, one of Singapore’s key partners in e-governance implementation and which has a strong presence in the Middle East region, presented the key challenges and success factors in implementing online services. Simple Solution Systems, a leading IT solutions provider which emphasises on user-centric design solutions, talked about the importance of building user-friendly government websites in today’s mobile world to deliver more effective public services.

SQL View, which offers e-records management solution has over 15,000 users across many government agencies in Singapore, delivered talks about revolutionising records management in the public sector to bring about greater transparency and efficiency. TreeBox Solutions, a specialist in secure mobile communications solutions, spoke about ways to tackle security risks of sensitive enterprise information being compromised on mobile devices. V3 Teletech, a leader in innovative mobility technologies, offered insights on how geo-spatial, mobility and telematics will shape the operations and workforce productivity in the public sector.

These companies will be exhibiting their solutions at the Infocomm Singapore Pavilion at COMEX to be held at the Oman International Exhibition Centre till April 11.
