• Established in October 2008 in the General Department of Human Resources.
• Vision: to be a leading technological center in developing virtual environments to aid the global security efforts.
• Mission: is to improve our human resources and to raise awareness in various fields through the use of virtual environments.
• Goals:
1. To develop virtual applications to support the current teaching and training methods.
2. To develop video games for awareness programs.
3. To create 3D documentary movies to archive cases.
Simulating real-life incidents in virtual environments.
Perform similar tasks to real-life incidents.

9. Learning
Strengths • Team selection and
formation. • Agile (Scrum methodology). • Development pipeline. • Technology adaptation. • Replication to different fields.
Opportunities • Venturing into different fields. • Releasing commercial Free-To-
Play games to the public. • Increasing the intellectual
properties capital. • Knowledge-transfer platform.
Threats/Risks • High demand for the use of
this technology. • Managing expectation. • Middle management
resistance.
Weaknesses
• Intellectual properties capital valuation.
• Mobile testing due to the huge number of devices especially for Android.
• Marketing: not easy to approach customers as a government entity.
