The projects come in line with the department’s commitment to accelerate the transition to a smart government model that ensures the provision of innovative services.
Commenting on the projects, Sultan Abdullah bin Hadda Al Suwaidi, SEDD chairman, said that the department seeks, through such projects, to support the UAE’s vision and the national trend towards the application of a smart government model in the country to make services easier, faster and simpler to delight the dealers.
He pointed out that the latest e-services are a focal point to promote business activities and encourage investors to make maximum use of the economic and investment capabilities available in the emirate of Sharjah, leading to a competitive economy that achieves the goals of sustainable development.
He added that this package of technical projects and new electronic services comes within the framework of the department’s keenness to develop innovative services.
In addition, he said that new e-gates, which are expected to be added at the emirate’s airport, provide a solid foundation to present SEDD’s expectations to satisfy consumers and customers, as it is based on saving time and effort and speeding up procedures.
Ali Ahmed Al Naqbi, deputy director of IT at SEDD, stressed the importance of developing advanced technology projects and the latest electronic services, which represent a strong push on the path of smart transformation.
He said that the IT department is looking forward to highlighting the advantages of these new projects and smart services provided by the department to its business and investor clients.
