The Department of Economic Development - Ajman (DED-Ajman) has revealed the successful launch of four new eServices--a move that falls in line with the department's continuing commitment towards developing new and innovative electronic-based services that can provide ease and convenience for investor processes, which in turn, will also enhance the attractiveness and competitiveness of the business and investment sector of Ajman.

The new offerings also include the electronic payment service and the ‘Report Violations’ service to facilitate inquiries about the violations of the establishment or the investor and the possibility of paying them electronically. These services look towards facilitating the client's journey--saving time and effort so that the client can submit all applications for these services at any time and place, without the need to visit customer service centers. This can be done through the website or smartphone application of DED-Ajman.

His Excellency Ali Eissa Al Nuaimi, Director General, DED-Ajman, said that these new services represents a quality-focused step in the adoption of apps for a knowledge-based economy, which greatly improves and enhances the ease of doing business.
