IBM
Websphere will enable a dynamic, interconnected business process, and highly
effective application infrastructures for NADRA’s online CNIC application.
InfoTech Group, a leading Systems Integrator and technology
solutions company, recently signed a contract with Pakistan’sNational DatabaseRegistration Authority (NADRA) to provide an application server middleware
platform, enabling the automation of the CNIC acquisitionprocess through an
online service. According to the agreement, InfoTech deployed IBM Websphere at
NADRA, and would continue to provide the consultancy services and back end
support as the project goes live.
NADRA, aworld leader and principal authority on identity and
document management, was able to develop its online application in-house, with
InfoTech providing back-end web hosting support. As IBM’s Premier Business Partner, InfoTech was selected by NADRA through an open and competitive process
to deploy the IBM Websphere software on an IBM P8 series server to help
facilitate its new online service.
As a result, NADRA will enable Pakistani citizens to apply
for CNIC card services online instead of visiting their registration centers.
This will be especially useful for Pakistanis living abroad. The process, which
boasts online document submission, credit card payment and home delivery of the
CNIC, will greatly facilitate the public by eliminating the hassle of long
queues and enabling overseas Pakistanis to access their documentation from
anywhere at any time.
Commenting on the occasion,
Naseer A. Akhtar, CEO of InfoTech remarked, “NADRA has taken an important
step in the right direction for allowing automation to enable transparency,
accessibility and comfort to the Pakistani citizens. InfoTech is proud to be a
vital part of this project, and we understand how critical a role information
technology can play for the citizens.”
