e-Government Officers Mull System Disruptions

Bandar Seri Begawan – Government officers were briefed yesterday on all aspects of the e-Government to avoid any disruptions when the system would be in actual operation in Brunei.

They were briefed on how to deal with any interference brought about by electromagnetic pulse.

Lightning can induce electrical pulses and transients of incredible destructive force having thousands of volts and hundreds of joules, in a span of a few microseconds.

Aside from that, lightning's activity within close proximity to electrical and electronic systems can also generate destructive and disruptive effects.

Therefore, before the e-government system in Brunei is implemented any further, it is imperative to tackle this problem effectively.

Failure to do so could lead to possible destroyed power stations or generators, computers, switch systems and other computer as well as communication equipment necessary for e-Government's operation.

Mr. S. K. Chong, Managing Director of LECDAS, yesterday made a presentation on the ways to prevent such phenomenon from occurring.

The introduction of the e-Government system in Brunei Darussalam will also enable increased efficacy in human resources.

Human Resources Management System (HRMS) in the marketplace is now evaluating the integration of biometrics as a natural replacement of the time and attendance system.

Mr. Jacob Lim, Managing Director of Starvision I.T. from Singapore, further added that there is an increasing trend in the adoption of biometrics systems into business application and this system is also applicable here in Brunei. -- Courtesy of Radio Television Brunei
