18 Future Planning Along these lines we intend to implement paperless strategies by adopting fully computerized system starting from approval stage up to taking over of the system. The Electronic Taking Over System will cover the scope be as follows: i. Install network capabilities i.e. tool and software for site inspection efficiencies ii. iii. Go live on an site inspection software for Taking Over Perform security assessment and analysis data As to show our commitment towards the above we are targeting to implement online application for all type of inspections and notifications for the tests in the first quarter of this year. We will tentatively schedule for the full digital application for taking over process in a very near future.
