It is with great pleasure that we would like to welcome you to our website. We, at NIC, are willing to provide you with all the help you need in the Information and Communication Technology arena.
Since my appointment as the Director of the national Information Centre a little over 5 years ago, it has been my commitment to ensure that the Centre achieves its mandate of contributing to and promoting a harmonious information technology environment in the government sector as effectively and efficiently as possible.
The demand for NIC services continues to be high and projects have become increasingly complex. This trend has characterized the NIC engagement volume since the endorsement of changes to the Sudanese Law in 1999, and reflects the dynamic nature and driving forces underlying the Sudanese Information and Communication Technology scene. Nevertheless, the performance of the NIC and its associate members continues to improve, as more projects have been carried out and an increase in the volume of received requests for the fifth consecutive year.
Enhancements to operational processes and technical tools have continued to progress in 2005-06, and have contributed to the Centre’s efficiency in dealing with matters. Additional measures have been initiated, and will be developed and implemented in the coming years, in consultation with all NIC’s stakeholders. In the same vein, the NIC is putting in place a more formal, regular and broader stakeholder consultation process. The main focus of these consultations will be the discussion of added measures that could be adopted to further expedite the delivery of an effective and efficient service and reduce the number of pending requests – a priority that has been identified by the client community in past consultations.
In light of the continuing challenge to manage its historically high and complex workload, the direction of the NIC for the years ahead will be its continued focus on the fulfillment of its current mandate with an emphasis on the reduction of pending initiatives. Toward this end, I am committed to finding new opportunities that will increase the productivity of the NIC and gain greater efficiencies.
