A quick solution with e-Faas



The best solution is always the simplest solution. Simple is not always easy to achieve. Often times complexity gets in the way of implementing any practical solution. Now more than ever, simplicity should be our main goal.

Organisations could start implementing work-at-home strategies and those fortunate enough to have cloud infrastructures in place would find the process very fruitful.  However, for other organisations NCIT could come up with a solution. In my opinion e-Faas could be the key technology that could be leveraged in this critical situation.

There are a number of ways e-Faas based portal could be implemented. One of the easiest and most simplest form would be to have a request send interface. This interface will be used by all Citizen's of the Maldives to request any services to any government organisation. It should have the sender organisation and when the organisation is selected, the recipient organisations email should be selected and whatever, the request the citizen writes should be able to forward to the organisation. There should be file attachment options. Isnt it too simple? well, yes, it is. But many organisations need a way to verify the sender and an e-Faas verified simple communication interface would be more than enough to start the work at-home initiation. For starters, this solves the identity verification problem and when a person is been identified, then other channels could be employed by respected organisations to continue online communication. A verification with e-Faas could be considered sufficient instead of a signature and courts could accept that as admissible for legal purposes.

This simple solution could solve lot of problems and it leads to smoother operations. Everyone will be able to use such a simple interface and since all government organisations have e-mails, the emails could do the rest of the work.

Since different organisations operate differently, coming up with a sophisticated portal to serve all would be a very difficult and time-consuming task.

NOTE:
-------------------
Those who do not know what is E-faas, it is the Maldives official single sign-on service for all Maldivian citizens. E-Faas is a secure sign in solution that every single Maldivian with a valid national identification card could apply for. Since it requires the ID number plus the serial number in the card, an exact match is required with the national registration database. E-Faas is a pretty secure mechanism and could solve lot of problems for all government institutions.

The Role of Research in Progress and Innovation

  The history of human progress is a testament to the impact of research for the sake of research. Visionaries like Galileo, Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein have expanded our understanding of the universe by fearlessly pursuing knowledge and sharing their discoveries through academic publications. The scientific method, which promotes the validation of any claim through verification, is a cornerstone of the research process and has driven transformative innovations. Consider the rise of smart cities, which integrate cutting-edge technologies to enhance urban life. Between 2018 and 2021, Singapore produced more than 1,500 research papers on smart cities, while Amsterdam published more than 950 such papers. These contributions demonstrate the critical role research plays in realizing the potential of smart city initiatives. Where ever, there was an attempt to redefine the norm, it was the 'research' that made that happen. Bitcoin, a revolutionary digital currency, emerged from ...

How the "push it" culture creates real "down fall".

In the world of organizational culture, the prevalence of a "push it" mentality often serves as a glaring indicator of more profound issues. It signifies more than just a commitment to excellence; it frequently represents the single most significant indication of an isolated, blame-oriented, and ultimately toxic culture.  In environments where the "push it" mantra prevails, collaboration becomes an afterthought, and leaders, whether consciously or inadvertently, exacerbate this toxicity by embracing this phrase. In this article, I will dive into the perils of the "push it" culture, and I will try to shed some light. If you have been hearing the phrase "you have to push it" or "I expect you to push it harder", that means you are already working in a counterproductive environment.  The Toxicity of "Push It" The "push it" culture, seemingly rooted in the pursuit of results, often conceals deeper organizational maladies....

Google dialogflow - How to train a chatbot to answer questions related to your office and how to make it better than just a Q&A bot?

  First lets look how to do it the basic way. To train a conversational AI chatbot for answering office-related queries using Dialogflow, you will need to follow these steps: Create a new agent in Dialogflow. Collect a dataset of office-related queries and their corresponding answers. This dataset can be obtained through various means, such as scraping websites, conducting surveys, or manually creating a dataset. Create intents in Dialogflow for the queries in your dataset. An intent represents a user's intention, such as asking for office hours or requesting a vacation day. Add training phrases to each intent, which are examples of how a user might ask the question. Provide responses for each intent, which will be the chatbot's answer to the user's query. Test the chatbot using the "Try it now" feature in Dialogflow. Once the chatbot is working well, you can deploy it to a platform of your choice, such as a website or mobile app. However, if you follow the basic ...
