After our remarkable success with the Unified African Constitutional Courts Platform project, executed under the auspices of the Egyptian Constitutional Court, Minds was entrusted with a monumental task—the Digital Egypt Project. This national endeavor marked Egypt's inaugural step into digital transformation, with the potential to reshape all government services, foster cost savings, and create a unified and user-friendly platform for every Egyptian citizen.
Minds, in collaboration with six major technology companies, including industry leaders like Microsoft and IBM, embarked on this groundbreaking project.
What does digital transformation mean for countries and for Egypt specifically?
For a nation as significant and substantial as the Arab Republic of Egypt, digital transformation signifies an all-encompassing journey toward modernization. It involves the migration of manual government services to automatic, unified, and easily accessible services for all Egyptian citizens.
The project's ultimate objective was to create a centralized platform that streamlines all government services, providing a one-stop-shop for citizens, boosting efficiency, and reducing operational costs. This was a strategic move that had the potential to profoundly reshape the nation's public sector.
The Challenge
Considering Egypt's immense needs and diversity, we faced the formidable challenge of designing a digital platform that could cater to the varied requirements of its citizens while ensuring inclusivity.
The Our Role and Deliverables
Minds assumed the crucial role of providing design services, user experience design, UI front-end, requirement writing, gathering, analytics, and management. We also established a UX Design Center of Empathy.
Our Comprehensive Methodology
We meticulously designed a comprehensive plan tailored to Egypt's specific needs. This entailed a phased approach, beginning with meticulous requirement gathering and analysis to ensure a deep understanding of the existing systems, processes, and pain points.
