Turkey signs US$23.6 million deal for government portal.
The project will involve the construction of an e-government portal for the Turkish government, provided by Singapore-based CrimsonLogic.
The portal aims to provide a single point of access to e-government services for Turkey's 70 million citizens, along with its 30 government agencies.
"The project will help transform Turkey's public administration into being more citizen- and business-centric and facilitate Turkey's entry into the European Union," said Leong Peng Kiong, CrimsonLogic's acting Chief Executive Officer.
The gateway will "lay the groundwork for Turkey's participation in future pan-European e-government services that require interoperability with services of EU nations," he said. Turkish company Oyak Technologies will act as the local partner for the deal.
