With increasing ferocity of swine flu epidemic went a lot of schools nationwide to close its doors to students, something which is expected to affect the level of education among students this year, but from the womb of the ordeal that he can appear bright models and techniques are alternative solutions, St. Fatima is a school which was attacked by the disease and the Ministry of Education to close the school but the school insisted on continuing the educational process through techniques within virtual classroom and e-learning software and now the students get all their shares and they study at home, and it is the second exciting for optimism that This system fully developed by young Egyptians founded the entire system to suit the circumstances of the learning environment in Egypt.

The company called OPENSCOPE And was established five years ago to provide job opportunities for Egyptian youth of ambition in the field of software, raising the name of Egypt in this sector on the global map, and recently the company has succeeded in providing outsourcing services for a number of companies in Australia, “a digital world have had this dialogue with the company’s founders Ezzat Yassa, director of the company and Ehab El-Sisi, director of project development.

During the interview, attributed to the great challenge facing the expansion of e-learning applications, the majority of these programs are complex and not commensurate with the nature of the educational system in Egypt, not to mention the high cost of such programs, which are not commensurate with the budget of schools in Egypt, he added, but we are working to change this command by providing an integrated solution for schools that can convert all paper-based transactions into electronic format and the adoption of the analytical method helps to evaluate the performance of students automatically on a regular basis, and to link the various departments and various sectors within the school, as well as to provide a mechanism to enable the immediate interaction between the school and parents things by sending SMS text messages and via the website of the school where the guardian can see the performance of his son on a daily basis, and each student has a user name and password of its own, be able to choose which materials for non-Egyptian education systems such as: British and American approaches , and the possibility of applying to the school across the site, and to engage in interactive sessions and workshops with teachers.

Explained that the main challenge we face in the course of our work is to provide value-added service to our customers, and not to provide them once the program or site, but technology can then be translated to profits and rates of higher performance and easier management of their projects, Vohdy success stories that we faced when we were asked a lawyer to create a site-mail carries data, but we Oguenanah add several services through the site to ensure immediate interaction with customers, and to make the issues on the site all the developments so as to enable his clients and his staff could follow up on the Internet, as we have established a Web site to an authorized Mercedes included a request for maintenance services across the site and codification of a network of used cars is the distributor’s examination and to provide this service to its clients, and the same thing in many other sectors. For his part, said Ehab El-Sisi, director of project development company that among other services we offer are e-commerce services, but even now it is very limited in the Egyptian market and because of the limited credit card users in Egypt, and the majority of projects that we have implemented in this area had been in Australia through outsourcing, and one of the implementation of a portal to a number of tourism enterprises can for the client to book through them and walk around in these places, and we hope to promote our services in several markets around the world during the coming period.
Confirmed that the main objective of the company is not profit but the implementation of innovative software, and during the coming period we will work to promote the solutions of e-learning software to help schools overcome the disease, swine flu, and our goal to provide more employment opportunities for graduates of Egyptian universities, and allocating budgets for training because of the gap between education and labor market needs, especially in the software sector highly variable.
