Sumerge and GAFI redfining investment in Egypt

Sumerge just signed the contract with The General Authority for Investments (GAFI), an affiliate of the Ministry of Investment (MOI). The project will tackle different scopes, and Sumerge will deliver Enterprise Content Management, Business Process Automation and E-Signature solutions using IBM Websphere Application Server, IBM Cognos, IBM Case Manager as well as IBM FileNet technologies. Sumerge’s solution will help make the investors experience much easier, shorter and faster. We will implement a one stop shop solution where investors can finish all the papers and payments in one place and eventually online. Sumerge will start with automating 3 of the main processes in GAFI which are company establishment, general assemblies and name registration. This project will also include the E-Signature technology which will help with completing the process online, in no time and with no need to visit any entity.
