ADSIC

In late 2005, the Abu Dhabi Government—under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed
bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Deputy Supreme Commander of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Armed Forces, and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council—began work on a far-reaching service transformation
programme that transcends all Government departments, authorities, and administrations. This programme strives to make the Abu Dhabi Government more effective and efficient in delivering
modern services to its diverse customer base along a multitude of delivery channels. It is empowered by optimal information technology (IT) solutions and fulfilled by a highly skilled work force—and in today’s e-transformation terms, has the key objective of establishing a modern, efficient, and constituent-centric e-Government to match the best in the world. To develop, drive, and support the various initiatives within the Abu Dhabi Government service transformation programme,
the Abu Dhabi Systems & Information Centre (ADSIC) was created as a Committee in October 2005 by Executive Council Decree No. 33, and established as a Centre in December 2008 by Law No. 18. The Centre is considered as the governmental party that owns the IT agenda of the Emirate, and has the authority to practice the following competences:
• Supervise the implementation of the e-Government
programme in Abu Dhabi Government entities (ADGEs).
• Sponsor initiatives and mature assets and competencies that it deems of critical importance
for the e-Government project.
• Propose policies and technology standards for government and relevant entities to achieve a comprehensive quality in reaching the highest levels of efficiency, confidentiality, and safety in the e-Government project.
• Issue rules and guidelines regarding the implementation of IT policies and the technical
specifications, and communicate them to all the Government entities.
• Submit the guidelines to the Council regarding
the IT sector and the e-Government.
Building on the strategic vision for a service-oriented
government in Abu Dhabi, ADSIC developed a government-wide service improvement and e-Government Strategy together with an implementation
Masterplan. This was accomplished through a six-step development framework that functionally analyzed gaps between the current state of ADGEs’ service delivery and the service-
oriented target state; proposed initiatives to correspond
with action areas needed to reach the target state; and documented an implementation plan that included financial and human resources
requirements.
