PJMedia Contract Win: ICT ministry, Qatar

EXPANSYS (AIM: XPS), a leading global online retailer of consumer wireless technology and provider of mobile network and eCommerce services and solutions, announces another new contract win by its eCommerce services subsidiary, PJMedia, to provide mobile capabilities to the Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) Ministry in Qatar. The project is one of a number of initiatives by the forward-looking government, as part of the 'Mobile Qatar' evolution.

PJMedia will design, develop and implement the capability for Qataris to interact with their government by mobile, across a wide number of applications and processes such as visa status, parking fines, citizen feedback and information dispersal. This is an important component of the PJMedia differentiated service, to provide cutting edge technology to emerging markets which are looking to exploit new developments in mobile commerce.

Anthony Catterson, CEO of EXPANSYS, commented:

"We are delighted to be working with the Qatari government, as it looks to enhance the interaction with its citizens using smartphone capabilities. Through an existing operation based in Doha, PJMedia has shown tremendous creativity, flexibility and efficiency in creating mobile services and solutions that the government can trust to deploy. We believe that these solutions could be attractive to other governments and agencies worldwide, and they showcase the capabilities of PJMedia, who excel in the mobile network solution market."
