The project, which started in December 2005, is led by the IT department of Dubai Municipality. The first phase was primarily an intensive data collection and analysis exercise conducted by a team from Dubai Municipality and was managed by Yousif Shams, Project Director and Head of the Systems Development Section at DM and Majid Al Mehairi, Acting Head of the eGovernment section at DM.

Yousif Shams said,

"The progress of the project has been excellent. So far the project team has conducted 33 workshops with various departments at DM, in addition to over 100 interviews with senior and middle level management of the Municipality in the first two months of 2006 alone. The cooperation and support received from everyone at DM has been a major factor for the smooth progress of this phase of the project."


Majid Al Mehairi said, "The completion of the first phase of the project is a major step towards achieving DM's strategic goals and is in line with the needs of various departments within the Municipality. As Dubai continues to strengthen its focus on eGovernment, it is important for various government departments to have a well-planned IT strategy to efficiently cater to future requirements. We are certain that, when completed, this project will benefit all departments within Dubai Municipality."

The Information Technology Department Transformation Strategy project is scheduled for completion by June 2007.
