It is a very comprehensive document, and yet it must be appreciated that it is only the tip of a very large iceberg. The work that goes into its implementation at every level, in every sector is monitored and benchmarked at every step, culminating in a series of 5 year plans. Vision 2030 A single point made in the Vision document under the heading streamlined government processes dictates that; Government efficiency and joined up Government are crucial to improving the overall business environment. One organisation central to that theme is Musanada. This government entity is responsible for delivery of business information systems, and their coordination throughout the disparate arms of government. According to Musanada literature; “The Emirate is on the cusp of major change on a global scale. The tremendous growth of Abu Dhabi and diversification of business investment is being guided by the 2030 Vision – a strategic plan to secure the future success of the capital city beyond the 42 oil wealth and improve the lives of its citizens and residents. Musanada’s role is to support the Emirate’s public sector institutions and help Abu Dhabi become one of the Top 5 Governments in the world.” CEO Financial spoke exclusively to HE Mohamed Al Meheiri, CEO of Musanada about the work of the organisation. “We are dedicated to serving the government with the provision of business support services such as service desks, helplines, CRM facilities and many other projects. Our mission is to streamline the channels of communication between various interlinked government departments that must coordinate on a variety of levels”, the CEO explains. In supporting its government customers, Chief Executive, Mohamed Al Meheiri is on the look out for international shared service providers to work with in a variety of areas. “Knowledge transfer is a key component in enabling various facets of government to communicate efficiently. Musanada means ‘to support’, and this is what we do in providing business services across the departments. We have an interest in engaging shared service providers with solutions that can be applied throughout the range of government services”, asserts Al Meheiri.
