This protocol states that Oracle Corporation, the world's largest enterprise software company, will provide to Government organizations special pricing terms and technical consulting services for E-Government projects. As a result of this protocol, Oracle products such as Oracle Database, Application Server, Development Tools, Collaboration Suite classified under Information Infrastructure or Oracle Enterprise Resource planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM) or customers relationship Management (CRM) that is classified under the Ready Made applications will be available for Government entities.
By forging such agreements and alliances, MCIT creates the opportunity for other government entities to use powerful tools to achieve required information technology infrastructure needed for complete transformation towards an E-Government. This Agreement is the first of its kind to be signed between Oracle Corporation and a government in Europe, the Middle East or Africa.
“Global presence is necessary,” said Minister Nazif, “We have to position our products to be sellable, marketable and concentrate on certain niches. The partnership with Oracle is a real evidence of working towards this goal,” added the Minister. Additionally, the Minister emphasized that the local industry should focus on producing high quality unique solutions and building a customer base to achieve the key goal of export.
Prior to the signing ceremony, Minister Nazif inaugurated the three-day Industry Solution Days Exhibition and Conference, also organized by Oracle. The Exhibition shows the applications created by Oracle Egyptian partners on the latest Oracle information infrastructure technologies and products. This event is set to form a communication link between information technology companies and users from the various industries. The Conference included several awareness sessions on different technologies presented by Oracle Corporation and its partners.
Notably, for more than 25 years, Oracle has worked on ways to help its customers manage critical information. The Company has built the only unbreakable database, with 15 international security evaluations. Worldwide, Oracle is ranked the first company in the information infrastructure products, and the second in the ready made applications products. Oracle products and technologies were implemented locally in the project of renovating the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
