Mr. Raza Haroon, Minister of IT, Sindh graced the occasion as the chief guest. Expressing his views, he said, “First of all, I’d like to welcome Mr. Mike Bramwell to Pakistan. I wish to congratulate SAP team on taking the initiative of launching its eAcademy program in Pakistan. Pakistan needs high quality education relevant to IT sector and it would serve as the much needed head start for the progress in this sector. We are trying to expand the role of IT in the country by devising a national IT policy so that we can move faster in terms of IT growth. So far, we have successfully launched several programs such as e-government, automation of Civil Hospital and launch of IT Media City in Karachi. We are also in the process of developing biometric system which will be available in near future. Our key role is to facilitate, promote and enable IT in the province. When organisations like SAP take steps to promote IT education in the country, it assists our IT goals as well. Since eAcademy is helpful for our local industry and for our people, our ministry would like to extend any possible help to SAP on this initiative. I wish the best of luck and success to SAP eAcademy.”
