Abu Dhabi Systems and Information Centre (ADSIC), the pioneering Government entity responsible for the UAE capital’s ICT agenda and transformation efforts, has revealed the Centre’s new and improved e-Government strategy for 2015 and beyond, during its hosting of the 6th edition of the Abu Dhabi e-Government Forum, under the theme ‘Towards a Digital Abu Dhabi’, which took place at the St. Regis Hotel, Corniche on 9th June 2015.
The Forum and its outcomes represents years of steadfast work, efforts and commitment to achieve distinction through a series of pioneering initiatives that have been design to support and boost ICT modernization across Abu Dhabi. It was also an ideal platform to showcase the latest milestones achieved by ADSIC’s strategic partners, who include Government entities and educational institutions, as the Forum is considered a dynamic knowledge-sharing platform that bring together ICT experts, both locally and internationally, to exchange insights and assist in transferring knowledge to the UAE’s capital.
The new and improved e-Government strategy which has been mapped out by clear and scalable objectives, mechanisms and KPI’s, aims to rapidly enable the digital transformation of Government services and shared ICT infrastructure through a road map that will be followed in the years to come in order to fully reach smart-government through a unified e-gateway, which will primarily focus on the various aspects of word-class m-Government services. The road map has also been designed to accelerate the speed and capacity in which additional Government services can be absorbed. It also outlines how the partner Government entities will play a visible role in adopting and applying the new strategy, especially in the realm of m-services.
The event commenced with a comprehensive presentation about the Abu Dhabi e-Government which included a retrospective on the Emirate’s ICT maturity levels and the state of Government digital transformation, covering key topics such as shared infrastructure, shared applications and channels, as well as e-Government standards and regulations. The presentation also shed the spotlight on a range of large key ICT initiatives and operational areas pioneered and streamlined through the Centre, including the Abu Dhabi Government Contact Centre, Abu Dhabi Government Portal, Jobs Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi Network, Security Policy and Governance, architecture-literacy programs, non-objection certificates, City Guard and other Government ICT programs.
Highlighting the new e-Government strategy on the sidelines of the 2015 e-Government forum, Rashed Lahej Al Mansoori, Director General at ADSIC, said, "Our new strategy aspires to position the Emirate’s Government as a leading smart government, driven by innovation and inspired by society, while being dedicated to delivering innovative digital services and channels, standards and policies, and building the foundation for an ICT-Mature society. This can be achieved through high competency and excellence, and by adopting the principles of transparency, open – high-value diversity, respect for individuals, and by constantly being driven by innovation, to lead by example.
Al Mansoori added, "Our new strategy aims to vigorously align e-Government strategic objectives with Abu Dhabi’s vision for building a knowledge-based sustainable economy that constantly evolves and pushes the boundaries of innovation and ideas creation to improve public administration through ICT."
"Moving forward, we will utilize all our efforts and resources to ensure the improvement of Government ICT capabilities and cross-cooperation with our constituents to provide government service channels that are able to facilitate society participation, engagement with the government and improve digital literacy levels for all end-users"
