The three-year contract will be carried out in two phases. The first phase involves setting up the security infrastructure centrally and installing the platform in Kuwait's 15 government agencies. The rest of the 47 government agencies will be deployed in the second phase.
"This project is aimed at encouraging the public and Kuwaiti government employees to use the e-Government services, whilst at the same time, provide a secure network infrastructure for the Kuwaiti government," said Lim Chin Hu, CEO of BT South East Asia.
The KIN network will be shared by all Kuwaiti government entities and will improve the delivery of information and services, enhancing efficiencies in government processes. KIN will unify agencies' external telecommunication services by providing voice and data over a secure fibre-optic network.
Using the KIN, sensitive data, information and confidential government transactions will be better protected. The network will also provide various levels of security to protect agencies from possible risks from external networks, including the internet, third-party suppliers and business communities.
"This deal is yet another proof for BT's continuing success in its goal to become a trusted provider of value added services to companies and public administration in the region with newly acquired capabilities of BT Frontline adding strength to our existing portfolio of services and solutions,"
said Olivier Campenon, BT President, EMEA.
The project will bring cost savings to the participating agencies, as they will be able to collaborate and benefit from combined purchasing power, standardized core products and telecommunications services. KIN will also be able to reduce time and money spent on responding to telecommunication problems and will bring more efficient methods of communication among agencies.
