In this Exclusive Q&A, Waleed Al Awadi – Head of Digital Transformation at GCG Enterprise Solutions reflects on how their proprietary UAE Government Approved Digital Signature Solution has evolved to deliver its latest feature-packed upgrade.
With regional economies competing to take charge of emerging opportunities, the technology sector is swiftly delivering innovation aimed at driving businesses and economic growth further and faster.
Focused on the UAE’s thriving enterprise landscape, GCG (Gulf Commercial Group) Enterprise Solutions continues to build on its legacy, as a leading enabler of cutting-edge technology and digital transformation solutions. Having served the region since 1982, the Company continues to support a growing list of clients across multiple industry sectors, enabling them to simplify, streamline and optimize their enterprise management needs.
With this background in mind, GCG Enterprise Solutions originally launched its proprietary digital signature solution “G-Sign” in June 2023. Since then, its successful adoption by the UAE Government and its associated offices has helped to drive its adoption across many other industry sectors, enabling them to realise their digitalization and paperless journey, while effortlessly integrating the convenience of UAE Pass into their business workflow.
