Potential Customers
In
today's fast-growing "e-World", from e-Government perspective,
governments are standing in four positions: 1. planning to start; 2. having
started; 3. expanding their existing systems. Periodical reports of UNPAN,
as a source that collects all news about e-Governments and publishes them on
monthly basis, suggest that there's a huge market for solutions which help
governments to connect their organizations and provider faster and better
service to citizens electronically.
Our
recent findings of SARA Virtual City's
potentials, during investigating new markets in international events
demonstrated readiness of different governments in Persian
Gulf region, west Asian and CIS, European and South American
countries. Australia
is also a more promising market to operate on, where we have put a lot of
effort and made connections.
Urban Service Coverage
One
of the major benefits of SARA Virtual City
is its flexibility in embracing new
city services into its environment and its ability to
consolidate them. Here is a list of topics of potential urban services that may
gather under our solution's umbrella:
- Property management
- Power supply
- Water supply
- Sewage
- Natural gas
- Canals
- Dams
- Post
- Communication
- Environment
- National heritage
- Tourism
- Law enforcement
- Emergency
- Fleet management
- Public transport paths
Competition
There
are few specialized companies working on GIS-based e-Government system
implementation. This is because of the following reasons:
- Investing in development of such systems is
very risky, because of heavy investment requirements and slower ROI
- Succeeding in developing needs long-term
dedication and dealing with complexity in business processes and technologies
- Deploying and supporting requires a big pool of
human resource of various expertise
- Limited internal and difficult-to-access foreign
market causes considerable obstacles in marketing
- Governments mostly think of these projects as
national projects and security issue is another concern of policy makers and
governmental decision makers.
For
afore mentioned reasons e-Government system integrators are very rare, but the
market in recent years looks quite ready to adopt these systems. All efforts
for adopting and putting these systems to work have been accelerated and a
decade of research has led to implementation of these systems by the involved
governmental bodies around the world
Therefore,
today is the best time to market and deploy SARA Virtual
City which stands out amongst
e-Government solutions.
