Ajman DED launches new business e-services

HE Ali Eissa Al Nuaimi, DG of the DED said that the new services will support Ajman's growing knowledge economy.

The Ajman Department of Economic Development (DED-Ajman) has launched four new e-services which it says will improve the ease of doing business in the Emirate.

The new e-services, which have been launched as part of Ajman's 2017 plan, are intended to remove physical processes from starting up a business, to increase efficiency. The e-services will also increase the attractiveness and competitiveness of the business and investment sector of Ajman.

The e-services include 'Issuance of authorization form for information banner specifications' and 'Issuance of mobile car wash licenses,' along with electronic payment service and online violations reporting.

The services are available on the web and through Ajman DED's smartphone app.

HE Ali Eissa Al Nuaimi, Director General, DED-Ajman, said that these new services represents a quality-focused step in the adoption of apps for a knowledge-based economy, which greatly improves and enhances the ease of doing business. These applications are geared towards providing advanced services that can address the requirements needed for comprehensive development. The vision of Ajman 2021 is to build a happy society with a sense of social well-being, leading to a distinguished government that supports economic growth, social welfare and the happiness of its customers--falling in line with the directives of His Highness Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, member of the UAE Supreme Council and Ruler of the Emirate of Ajman.

Ohood Ali Abdullah Al Shuhail, Director General, Ajman Digital Government, said that the digital government has set five strategic goals to achieve since the beginning of this year. The goals are to digitize 100% of government services in Ajman by the end of next year and to digitize all government services by the end of 2018. The five objectives include the adoption of 80% of digital services by the end of 2021, as well as the total digital transformation plan for 30 priority government services every 100 days. The first digital transformation of government services in Ajman, known as the 100-day plan, is due to be held this month.
