Dubai Customs (DC) has completed its preparations to take part in GITEX 2012, slated for 14 - 18 October at Dubai World Trade Centre.
During the four-day exhibition, DC will be showcasing the electronic services it offers to its clients and employees, particularly taking into account that the customs department is among the first public agencies in Dubai to realise the e-government transformation and was able to transform the majority of its services to become electronic in 2008.
Mr Ahmed Mahboob Mussabah, Executive Director of Client Management at DC, said that GITEX represents a comprehensive technological platform for DC to introduce its services and latest electronic developments to the public and clients and is also an opportunity to learn about the latest technological products worldwide and the possibility of utilizing them to improve the department’s business as upgrading the business systems, whether internally among employees or externally in the relationships with clients, is a major priority of DC.
Mahboob also noted DC pays a great attention to its clients and is always keen on upgrading and simplifying the services offered to them at Dubai’s entry ports and on incorporating the latest technological innovations within its business to cope with the world’s latest advancements.
To this end, Mahboob said, DC seeks to provide the easiest, smoothest, quickest and most distinctive electronic services and to utilize technology to facilitate the services offered to clients and accelerate the business procedures, pointing out that the customs department has reclassified its electronic services into 16 major services offered through the DC’s website and the Trade Gate Portal.
"During the participation in GITEX 2012, DC will be displaying its electronic services and the latest developments it has witnessed and will unveil for the first time new clients’ facilitation initiatives as well as the technological projects currently under implementation” Mahboob said.
