Hamad Al Mansoori:
We’ve began preparations for the
next phase of smart transformation
Al Qamzi also expressed his delight
upon the prestigious award won by
the UAE mGov during the World
Summit on the Information Soci-
ety Awards (WSIS), on the capacity
building category, for the mGov Inno-
vation Centre, which was launched
by the TRA. The mGov Innovation
Centre was established to be one of
the central pillars of the smart trans-
formation in the UAE and one of the
essential drivers of innovation and
employment of ICT to serve the ob-
jectives of the mGov.
This came during the brainstorm
session about the future of smart
services. The session was attended
by officials of government entities
and His Highness Sheikh Moham-
med bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE
Vice President and Prime Minister
and Ruler of Dubai.
Al Qamzi said: “Every accomplish-
ment achieved towards smart trans-
formation is a leap to go to a higher
stage. We have learned from our
wise leadership that the greatest
achievement is yet to come, so ev-
ery success for us represents a driv-
ing force towards the next step. On
the smart transformation trip there is
a vision that brings us all together,
the 2021 Vision, which put the UAE
on its position as one of the best
countries in the world”.
Al Qamzi added: “It is a matter of
pride that the echoes if this wining
was among the participants in one
of the most global forums WSIS,
which contributes to promoting the
UAE’s reputation in the field of in-
novation and creativity, especially
in light of the declaration of the wise
leadership of making 2015 the year
of innovation in the UAE”.
H.E. Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, Di-
rector General of mGov commenting
on this triumph said: “The inaugura-
tion of the Center of Digital Innova-
tion came within the stages of imple-
menting the road map of the mGov
during the 2 years period, which
represents a central service for the
benefit of the federal or local enti-
ties, as it provides training and con-
sultancy services in various areas of
smart transformation, also features
a laboratory for mobile applications,
the first of its kind in the region”.
The Centre of Digital Innovation
(CoDI) for the mGov is a joint cen-
tral service, which is in line with the
government’s future directions in the
field of connectivity. In this regard, Al
Mansouri pointed out that the team
of the mGov has already began
preparations for the next phase of
smart transformation as a result of
the brainstorm session about mGov,
which was attended by hundreds of
agents, managers and officials of
the mGov services to discuss the
most important future ideas for the
development of mGov services.
Al Mansouri said: “There are four
guidelines that lead us through
the next phase, and these guide-
lines represent the wise directives
and are summarized in connecting
smart services federally and locally,
enhance the quality of services, in-
crease usage, and raise satisfac-
tion on mGov services. We have
seen during the brainstorming ses-
sion a flood of perceptions put for-
ward by the government officials on
ways to apply those trends on the
ground, and we are currently work-
ing to develop practical plans in line
with that”.
