(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) CrimsonLogic, a Singapore-based provider of e-government solutions and services, has announced the official opening of its Oman operations. The company's office, in Knowledge Oasis Muscat (KOM), is to be operational by the second quarter of this year.

This will be CrimsonLogic's fourth branch in the Middle East, after the offices in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and UAE.

Launch of the Oman operations comes following CrimsonLogic's agreement to develop and launch Oman's first national single electronic window (SEW) for the Royal Oman Police and the Directorate General of Customs, in addition to rolling out an enhanced integrated customs management system (ICMS) to replace the existing one.

ITA chief executive Dr Salim al Ruzaiqi was the guest of honour at the event.

According to Dr Ruzaiqi, ''With ITA and CrimsonLogic working together, the knowledge- and experience-sharing will help to build local capabilities and boost our competitiveness in the global business community. We are glad that global pioneers like CrimsonLogic find Oman an attractive location in which to open their newest office.''

Speaking to Muscat Daily, Saw Ken Wye, chief executive officer of CrimsonLogic, said the company would use its Oman office as a base to tap businesses opportunities in the MENA region.

''As part of our commitment to the sultanate and our steadfast dedication as a strategic partner in achieving Oman's e-governance vision, CrimsonLogic's new office at KOM will ensure that the right people are assigned to deliver a successful project,'' added Saw.

SEW is a platform that allows trading communities to lodge standardised information and documents with a single-entry point to fulfil import, export and transit-related regulatory requirements. ICMS will allow the Directorate General of Customs to enhance customs administration in meeting current trends and standards.

CrimsonLogic also signed memorandums of understanding with local SMEs to form strategic partnerships that will enable the company to better deliver projects more efficiently and cost-effectively in Oman and across the region.
