Georgetown, Fuzhou examine Digital City initiatives
Head of the Department of Information Technology, Waynewright Orderson, is in Fuzhou City in the People’s Republic of China holding discussions with senior officials of the Fuzhou Software Park about collaborating with regard to the development of e-municipality’s initiatives in Georgetown.
Over the next few years, Georgetown would be seeking to collaborate with Fuzhou to build a state-of-the-art information infrastructure that will ultimately house the city’s digital assets. Through the adoption of innovative information technologies, the Council expects to improve the city’s efficiency and quality of service for our citizens.
The alliance currently being discussed between Georgetown and Fuzhou, which share a sister city relationship, is intended to help change the way the Georgetown City Council interacts with its citizens.
Georgetown is planning to work closely with Information Technology specialists from the Fuzhou Software Park to build an information infrastructure based on their portfolio of tiered storage systems and information management software to digitize, index, and archive the city’s information.
In addition, Orderson indicated that his department intends to leverage the Fuzhou Park’s network and remote-networking capabilities to educate the municipality’s IT employees about new information management and storage capabilities.
Fuzhou Software Development Park is located within Fuzhou High-tech Park (FZHTP). The products include Chinese voice intelligence systems, MRP systems, fingerprint systems, electricity management systems and colour vision transmission systems. Other important software companies in Fuzhou include Fuzhou Strongsoft Development Co. and Fuzhou Teleware Electronics Co.
More than 33 universities and colleges in the province provide essential intellectual resources for the development of software industries. These include Xiamen University, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou University, Jimei University and Huaqiao University. Xiamen University has established a software college in the city of Xiamen.
One of the main companies with which the Georgetown Municipality’s IT Head is in discussion is the Fujian Fujitsu Communication Software Co. Ltd., which is a company focused on software research and development, system integration, technical support and products sale in the field of telecommunication and information technology.
