Egypt's Bawaba E-Government |
 |
The official Egyptian Government portal. The solution included G2B and G2C portal,
BAWABA Gateway, e-enabling ministries such as Ministry of Electricity and Ministry
of Finance.
The Government portal provides information and content related to governmental services
in a citizen-centric manner.
Services are categorized based on a logical grouping in relation to end-user interests,
such as a grouping of all services related to vehicles and cars under one title,
irrespective of the ministries providing the services.
Through the ‘No Wrong Door’ policy, users can enjoy a unified experience without
facing the hassle and confusion over which ministry provides which service.
A major challenge and accomplishment was to deliver a technology independent solution
so that seamless assimilation of any ministry's backend is possible to leverage
the internal investments of each connected ministry. The portal is a uniform foundation
for the Egyptian Government initiative, providing the foundation for multiple services
on multiple devices. The e-government portal was based on the concept of three different
layers.
The portal front-end (www.egypt.gov.eg) provided the interface for end-user navigation.
The middle tier ‘Bawaba gateway’ was architected to provide a single bridge between
the end-user and the various government services available now and in the future.
Both tiers are exclusively designed and built by Link Development.
The last layer involved the development and integration of several G2B and G2C online
services, from various ministries, with the Bawaba gateway. Security is of paramount
importance in Bawaba gateway.
A single sign-on platform is provided through it for all government services offered
on the portal.
The Bawaba gateway is designed and built to be integrated seamlessly with the PKI
(Public Key Infrastructure) should it exist. Through a variety of encryption techniques
and algorithms, the gateway secures sensitive data while communicating with users
and ministries over the Internet.
Link Development was ranked as the first from the region of Eastern Europe, Middle
East and Africa by Microsoft on an international level for “Integration Solution
Of the Year 2003” during the worldwide partner event held in New Orleans, USA for
our work in Bawaba Gateway.
