Huawei Demonstrates Expertise in Extending E-Government Services for Citizens at Gatner Symposium ITxpo

IT company brings together latest technology and best practices to help make government services smarter in GCC

Mobilk - As information and communications technology (ICT) continues to drive economic development for GCC governments, Huawei—a leading global ICT solutions provider—is set to showcase its range of new e-government solutions that support the expansion of secure and reliable online citizen services at the Gartner Symposium ITxpo 2015. 

Under the theme, ‘Driving Digital Business’, the Gartner Symposium ITxPO will bring together CIOs and senior IT executives to learn how to realize, build and optimize digital opportunities, allowing them to become indispensable in an increasingly connected business world. 

Developing e-Government services to meet the growing demands of more mobile and connected citizens has been a top priority for many GCC countries in recent years. This includes the development of easy-to-use applications that not only provide citizens greater accessibility to government services but enhance collaboration and efficiencies within the public sector. As IT services become more agile and software-defined, it is becoming easier for the public sector to create more integrated and smarter eco-systems that offer greater efficiency and productivity. 

Connecting multiple government departments such as those responsible for education, public security, health and civil affairs; Huawei will be showcasing an expanded portfolio of solutions including its e-Government Cloud Data Center, e-Government Service Driven Distributed Cloud Data Center, advanced security solutions, centralized management, and enhanced mobility solutions.

“The increasing demand for e-Government services is being influenced by key citizen trends such as the rise in mobile penetration, more people bringing their own devices to the workplace and the need to increase inter-department coordination. While many public sector entities have already deployed a range of connected services, at Huawei believe that there is an opportunity to take these services to the next level, said Terry He, President at Huawei Enterprise Middle East.

“Events like the Gartner Symposium ITxpo provide a great platform for us to showcase best practices and show CIOs how to leverage the latest ICT trends to create new opportunities for both the public sector and the population at large.”

Speaking directly to this year’s conference attendees, Mr. Mehdi Ziane, Senior IT Solutions Manager at Huawei Enterprise Middle East will be giving a keynote on “Why Government’s should advance to the next level for a smarter and more integrated e-Government eco-system”, which will take place on 20th May, Day 2 of the conference at the Mina A’Salam Convention Center in Dubai.  

Huaweis Enterprise Business has worked with governments across the region and around the world to deploy a vast range of ICT solutions for the public sector, from network infrastructure and communications to niche industry solutions and data center technologies. Recent Huawei projects in the Middle East have also included tie-ups with the Ministry of Manpower in Oman and the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia, amongst others.

Huawei’s latest e-government solutions will be on display at the company’s stand P2, alongside its range of Digital Oilfield technologies for the Oil & Gas sector.
