In a continuous bid to export its e-Government expertise and exploring new opportunities in the Middle East, Ecquaria made its debut at the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX) 2007, the region's premier ICT event in Dubai.

At the event, Ecquaria showcased its next generation Integrated Government (iGov) solutions based on its flagship software infrastructure, the Ecquaria Service-Oriented Platform™.

"We are very pleased to participate in the Infocomm Singapore Pavilion showcasing our iGov solutions and exchanging our expertise with the Middle East governments and partners," said Dr Foong Wai Keong, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ecquaria.

"There is a vast potential for the Middle East markets to jumpstart their e-Government journey in much greater speed by leveraging the rich learning curve of the Singapore experience. We are looking forward to contribute our expertise with the Middle East governments," Dr Foong added.

The company is working with Qatar's Supreme Council of Information and Communications Technology (ictQATAR) to develop the Qatar Service Platform, a single integrated e-Government platform to help fast-track the Qatar government's aggressive drive towards fifth generation e-Government initiatives.
