 Think about it. A world wired by connectivity. A marketplace where people from all walks meet and communicate. Where culture and history become a backdrop for modern living. And where people enjoy immediate and convenient access to information and communication technologies. Right at the touch of a button. This future is becoming a possibility. A common platform for everyone to reach out to one another. To conduct businesses, submit applications and any other transactions online. The infrastructure is available here in Qatar. Qatar is a very cosmopolitan country. We have many nationalities working alongside Qataris. We have very aggressive programs to modernize the country, to transform the way the government and the business run. At ICT Qatar, the vision has always been simple. To connect people to the latest technologies. To enrich their lives. And to inspire confidence in the future of Qatar. It was towards this end that ICT Qatar conceived an idea that's quickly turning to reality. That idea is IGov, or Integrated E-Government. I think this is where the technology is going. Implementing a service-oriented architecture in order to share the different components across the government. Kicking in over four key faces of implementation, IGov is set to be a massive program. And the first of its initiatives is the Qatar Service Platform, or QSP. An integrated e-services platform with a common service gateway. That hosts existing and future government e-services. QSP links Qatari citizens and businesses to the government online. Helping to improve the lives of those who live and work in Qatar. Six stakeholders involved in this project is the Minister of Economy, Chamber of Commerce, National Health Authority, also Publication Department, the Minister of Interior and ICT Qatar. It is the first and serious step taken by ICT Qatar towards a service-oriented architecture. It has a fairly rich set of features that we believe will be very useful for the business community. It involves payment and authentication through a username and password, authentication through also a smart card for companies. With QSP, ICT Qatar can now provide improved and highly accessible e-services, promote internal efficiencies among government agencies, and establish strong governance and transparency in major work practices. And also it helps the customers to get the services much easier and faster than the classic way going through the counters. We have been planning since a while to go online with our services. The aim is to work on our customers to attack as many businesses to Qatar as possible. To achieve this vision of QSP, ICT Qatar has been working tirelessly with the foremost info technology companies and agencies in the world. The QSP project was born out of a collaboration that was established last year between ICT Qatar and IDA Singapore. There has been a lot of exchange of experience between the two countries. We had a team from Aquara to be here with us in Doha to implement the pilot system. We are very privileged in order to be working with ICT Qatar. We find that their people and staff are very committed and dedicated to this project. It is our shared vision and commitment between ourselves and their people that sees the successful launch of this QSP project. It began with a vision and the Qatar Service Platform has become a part of the vision. We are promising the citizens and residents of Qatar to include many other services in the future. We have the necessary requirements planning to add more services online as soon as we finish simplifying some procedures and regulations. It has been a very good effort, a joint effort to prepare for the launch of this system and we are looking forward to a very high adoption of this system by the business community. To connect, enrich and inspire the people of Qatar, that is the vision for the future. That future is here. Just think about that.
