Economic databases and decision support services are transforming the operations of many key ministries and government enterprises. For example, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MFTI) is cooperating with MCIT and the Egyptian Public Authority for Standardization and Quality Control. This will establish a database of standards specifications, with a backlog of data entries from Egyptian standards, drawing precedents, and quality control. Part of the project is to develop portals so that MFTI can offer its services online and manage specifications more efficiently.
MFTI also has an interest in the residue system of the National Export Supervisory Authority where an information network is being established to allow data flow between main data collection centers which will also compliment the Foreign Trade Data Warehouse project. In a similar way, the Ministry of Supply and Domestic Trade is developing a supply card automation system, using advanced Smart Card technologies. The project establishes a beneficiary database of approximately 50 million individuals, and a retailer database of approximately 40,000. Most of the projects mentioned above provide staff training on the correct use of the new technologies. |
