Webb Fontaine congratulates the President of Bahrain Customs Affairs, Sheikh Ahmad Al Khalifa, on winning the prestigious Best Government ICT System Award 2019 for the OFOQ Customs Management System at the Bahrain Government Forum on October 6th, 2019.

In 2011, Webb Fontaine was appointed by Customs Affairs of the Kingdom of Bahrain to implement an Integrated Trade Facilitation System (ITFS), covering the entire spectrum of customs and regulatory agency transactions. This initiative included the delivery and full implementation of Webb Fontaine’s TradeWorldManager system, now internationally recognised as Customs Webb and locally known as OFOQ.

“We at Webb Fontaine are proud to have been the Bahrain Customs Technology partner since 2011 and are certain of even bigger achievements to come,” said Didier Reymond, CEO of Webb Fontaine.

The eGovernment Excellence Award, established under the patronage of H.H. Deputy Prime Minister in 2008, serves as a strategic platform for the Information & eGovernment Authority to recognise, reward, and showcase pioneering ICT initiatives in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The award has become a cornerstone for encouraging Bahraini government entities, private companies, NGOs, and citizens to share and advance their successful ICT innovations. This aligns with the government's Vision 2030, which aims to enhance the Kingdom’s electronic community.

The OFOQ Customs Management System, developed and implemented by Webb Fontaine, exemplifies innovation and excellence in government ICT systems. It streamlines and optimises customs procedures, ensuring efficiency, transparency, and security in trade facilitation. The system's success is a testament to the effective partnership between Webb Fontaine and Bahrain Customs Affairs, demonstrating the impact of cutting-edge technology in transforming governmental operations.

Winning the Best Government ICT System Award highlights the significant strides made by Bahrain in adopting advanced technological solutions to improve governance and public service delivery. Webb Fontaine’s ongoing collaboration with Bahrain Customs Affairs continues to pave the way for further innovations, contributing to the Kingdom's goal of becoming a leading digital economy.

In summary, the recognition of the OFOQ Customs Management System underscores the success of Bahrain's ICT initiatives and Webb Fontaine's pivotal role in supporting these advancements. This achievement not only celebrates past successes but also sets the stage for future innovations that will drive the Kingdom towards its Vision 2030 aspirations.
