Bandar Seri BegawanTechnoNet Sdn Bhd, Oracle Corporation and Ingram Micro will be hosting a one-day seminar on Brunei's e-Government initiatives with Oracle 3Es on June 17, at Sheraton Hotel.

Present as the guest of honour at the event will be the Minister of Communications Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Kerna Dato Seri Setia Hj Awg Abu Bakar.

The momentum of Brunei's e-Government initiatives is increasing with the commitment and support from the private sector. TechnoNet and Oracle Corporation, playing a supporting role, will help fuel the e-Government initiatives.

Of the four key areas in e-Business for the government, Brunei is making strides in the areas of government-to-citizen and government-to-government interaction with additional investment potential for government-to-business and government-to-employee initiatives as well.

During the one-day seminar, Oracle's government, education and health solutions experts will highlight ways in which e-Government adoption can improve citizen services, increase visibility and accountability into public sectors' finances, boost human resources management capabilities and enhance public services for citizens.

The seminar will also cover Oracle support services for the government from a local standpoint. Oracle University had also committed to deliver educational content to increase Oracle expertise within the context of Brunei together with the country's support.

The theme supports the government initiative to evolve from a database driven ICT service to knowledge driven, which covers e-Government, e-Education and e-Health concepts and driving the 3Es to go beyond the database.

"E-Government is moving from being a concept to a reality and there is still considerable potential for private citizens, businesses and public departments to further benefit from self-service opportunities as well as transparency benefits

That e-Government can deliver. The event for the public sector will highlight the levels of development so far and the ways in which both the public and private sectors can access information and services.

In an effort to update its customers and partners on the latest technologies available, TechnoNet had organised a talk and dialogue by John Zachman, the guru of enterprise architecture from the US earlier this year, and also by representatives from Hummingbird Communications from Canada the previous year.

Both Oracle and TechnoNet hope to host more seminars and events in the future.

Oracle has provided e-Business solutions and technology to a number of organisations in the Sultanate which include the Prime Minister's Office, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Communications, Ministry of Development, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Home Affairs, TelBru, Brunei Shell and Royal Brunei Airlines.
