Led by CrimsonLogic, a leading global IT solutions provider, SESA has four other private enterprise members from Singapore, namely Ditium Technologies, Elixir Technology, RSTN and V3 Teletech. The alliance aims to bring Singapore's world-leading eGovernment best practices and solutions to governments in the Middle East. The formation of SESA was officially announced in Singapore in July 2007. The alliance is part of the International Partners (iPartners) programme initiated by International Enterprise (IE) Singapore , an agency under Singapore's Ministry of Trade and Industry.

"Alliances enable Singapore companies to band together to offer a full suite of complementary products and services and compete on a larger scale in overseas markets. SESA is a good example of how Singapore's technology companies can tailor their combined eGovernment expertise to help Middle Eastern governments provide cutting edge solutions to their businesses and citizens,"


said Andrew Khaw, Acting Director of Corporate Group (Infocomm Technology), IE Singapore. "In Singapore, about 1,600 government services are readily available over the Internet. With Internet usage rising rapidly in the Middle East, we see much potential for SESA to offer their expertise in this market."

"Singapore has developed several generations of eGovernment systems for a wide variety of public services over a long period of time," said Himmat Singh, Director, Alliance Management, CrimsonLogic. "A number of Middle Eastern governments have already made great strides in eGovernment initiatives and are continually on the look-out for ways to reinforce their reach and service to the businesses and citizens. SESA has been formed to assist Middle East governments to leverage tried and tested eGovernment solutions to fast-track their own plans."

SESA has the best-of-breed technologies, domain knowledge, methodologies, and depth of eGovernment operational experience necessary to work in close partnership with governments in the region. The Alliance offers consulting expertise and proven solutions for a wide variety of eGovernment concerns such as general licensing, healthcare, tax management, justice and law, labour management, trade facilitation and customs management.
