It emphasizes the exploration of innovative solutions (Oracle ERP System), the elimination of outdated practices, and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies to meet the evolving needs of citizens and businesses.
The programme leads with the mantra that digital transformation is not all about technology. It is about people!
