Abstract

In recent times, various technologies have become pervasive in our surroundings, contributing to the dynamism of everyday life and time efficiency. Globally, there is a prevailing trend toward embracing technology, with countries striving to digitize various aspects of their operations. Notably, Egypt has played a significant role in this digital transformation. Several years ago, Egypt initiated a comprehensive digitization effort, such as converting employee signatures into fingerprints, scanning IDs to track attendance, and utilizing drone planes for various applications, including capturing sports events.
Furthermore, a noteworthy development occurred approximately three years ago when Egypt transitioned from using paper currency to adopting a card payment system for transportation. The nation has also embarked on constructing smart cities, exemplified by New Alamein, with the goal of enhancing operational efficiency and elevating the quality of government services and citizen well-being. This initiative addresses issues like waiting in queues at the Student Affairs Office, where:
individuals would traditionally wait for their turn, dealing with paperwork, and waiting for signatures. Our project is designed to tackle these challenges, aiming to eliminate the inefficiencies of spending an entire day at a single location for administrative processes. Ultimately, our objective is to contribute to the realization of a digital Egypt, equipped with advanced technology that aligns with global standards.
