ASPGULF DESIGNS BEA'TI WATANI PROJECT OF EWS<br />

Bea’ti Watani is an integrated portal for entire students, schools<br />

and partners (read as Municipalities) of U<strong>AE</strong>, sponsored by<br />

Emirates Wildlife Society-World Wildlife Fund. Students from<br />

the age of 6 -14 have to attend this online examination for testing<br />

their awareness on the distinctive natural habitat of the U<strong>AE</strong><br />

as well as local and global conservation issues. The portal had<br />

student module (registration/approval/exam), school module<br />

(registration/approval/reports/certificates), partner module<br />

(registration/approval/reports) and an underlying Admin<br />

Module for Emirates Wildlife Society. The same will be hosted at<br />

ASPGulf and supported with an Annual Maintenance Contract<br />

develop even further throughout the coming years,” raved Feras<br />

Al-Jabi, ITQAN’s General Manager.<br />

ITQAN’s success stories with projects for Sharjah Museums<br />

Department, Maritime Industrial Services, and Ministry of<br />

Health highlighted and presented at its stand.<br />

“ITQAN’s four principal practices showcased the latest<br />

technologies and consultancy on the best practices to the valued<br />

guests.<br />

“We developed a series of interesting interactive activities<br />

that aimed to capture their interest and enlighten them with<br />

the most cutting edge solutions in the IT world,” added Feras<br />

Al-Jabi, General Manager - ITQAN.<br />

(AMC). Currently the examination is conducted by the member<br />

schools in a conventional way which is quite cumbersome.<br />

With this project, by converting the entire process online, it gives<br />

total flexibility to the students, coordinator teachers, partners and<br />

EWS-WWF to participate in the<br />

program at their convenience.<br />

With this strategy, EWS-WWF<br />

aims more to embrace the<br />

program on a large scale.<br />
