Dubai Trade has shortlisted the best performers of its online services for the annual flagship event, the e-Services Excellence Award. The Award Committee is currently studying the shortlist and will announce the winners next month at the 7th ESEA ceremony.
The winners are selected on criteria that reflect their adoption of e-Services on the Dubai Trade Portal during 2014. Requirements for success include a minimum 80% of transactions for key services and the number and volume of transactions.
Jamal Majid bin Thaniah, Chairman of Dubai Trade, said, “The ESEA award encourages the adoption of e-Services by recognising achievements in online usage among customers.
