The UAE Ministry of Labour expects to have 100 percent of its services available online by 2010, the ministry's IT director said on Sunday.

"IT departments have now become the backbones of any organisation and we are focusing on this, especially with the new [UAE] government strategy to provide 100 percent e-services," Mohamed Al Shamsi told Arabian Business on the sidelines of the Gitex technology exhibition.

"For the Ministry of Labour, by the end of 2009 it should be 100 percent. We are almost 75 percent now."

The government body has just implemented nine new services on its website to coincide with Gitex, he said.

"We have more dynamic services now for anybody who would like to find out more information about certificates, labour cards, regulations, and other," he added.
