Al-Falak's contribution towards development of eSociety highlighted at the 1st eServices Symposium in Saudi Arabia

The eServices Symposium sought to increase awareness about the benefits of eServices and emphasized the importance of public-private partnership to accelerate the Kingdom's march towards an eSociety. During the event, Al-Falak showcased its entire range of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions, including the innovative E-Catalog.

Al-Falak also highlighted its portfolio of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions at the two-day event, which was held under the patronage of H.R.H. Prince Mohammed bin Fahed Abdulaziz, Governor of the Eastern Province in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Speaking on the sidelines of the symposium, Ahmed Ashadawi, President and CEO of Al-Falak, said, "Al-Falak has been instrumental in taking Saudi Arabia closer towards its objective of an e-Society. There is now a strong collaboration and transparent communication between the Kingdom's government entities and private sector companies like Al-Falak, which has led to advanced levels of eGovernance. This, in turn, has been assisting the Kingdom's transformation towards an eSociety."

At the exhibition held in conjunction with the eServices Symposium, Al-Falak showcased its entire range of ICT solutions, with the main attraction being the innovative E-Catalog.

The cost-effective system makes it convenient for customers to check the updated product list from time to time, is available 24x7, and reduces delivery time. Al-Falak has already implemented this system for a variety of clients.

"Al-Falak's participation at the forum was mainly aimed at showcasing its latest technological solutions and promoting usage of eServices among all sections of society. The forum proved an ideal platform to network with our growing client base and to explore new business opportunities,"
