Nova Clinches
Project in Brunei
May 2006 - novaCITYNETS has made a significant
breakthrough into Brunei Darussalam with the signing
of a contract to implement the Land Transport Information
System (or Sistem Pengangkutan Darat – SPD).
SPD will go a long way in supporting Brunei’s
e-Government initiatives through a web-portal and
open architecture, which allows the Land Transport
Department (LTD) to improve service to the citizens
and related-businesses. When
launched,
SPD, as a 'front-end environment' will make for easier
issuance of more durable driving licenses, vehicle
license labels and log books, renewals, permit applications,
vehicle registration & inspections and management
of revenue collection.
SPD will also be central to providing accurate and
up-to-date vehicles and drivers’ records, thereby
eliminating possible means of fraud. Besides internal
users in LTD, the system will also be open and cater
to the needs of car dealers, public and users from
other Ministries.
Steven Chan, Chief Executive Officer, Nova said, “The
key to Nova’s success in clinching this milestone
project is our domain knowledge and experience in
implementing similar projects in other parts of the
world. When completed, SPD users will experience all
the key benefits such as 24x7 access, online processing
and tracking.”

database at the headquarter instead of isolated clusters
of information located at different sites.
The SPD system will be based on Nova’s Collaborative
Framework for e-Government, PAVO™ which is also
employed by Perbadanan Putrajaya in Malaysia, Building
and
Construction Authority, Vietnam Datacommunication
and more specifically Singapore, Land Transport Authority,
Singapore which implemented a similar system1.
This project is the first won by Nova in the Sultanate
and is worth approximately S$6.6 million.

VITAS was successfully launched in June 2003 and was
subsequently
awarded the Minister’s Innovation Award by the
Ministry of Transport. Read more about VITAS here.
