ADISC wins ACN Arab Technology Award
Abu Dhabi, Oct 22, 2008 (WAM) - Abu Dhabi Systems '&' Information Committee (ADSIC) was presented with the 4th Annual ACN Arab Technology Award for "Government '&' Education Implementation of the Year" in recognition of its distinguished efforts to unify IT Architectures and Standards and set Information Security Policy across the government of Abu Dhabi.
The Arab Technology Awards are usually presented to recognize best implementations and achievements made by pioneering government entities, organisations and agencies concerned with ICT services and systems. The Awards ceremony held at the Westin Dubai Hotel was attended by more than 300 of the region's leading technology professionals, with the end user community, vendors, and enterprise integrators all represented. The ceremony was charged with an atmosphere of high competition between many successful and innovative enterprises in the field of ICT and knowledge development.
The Award category of "Government '&' Education Sector Implementation" received the largest number of candidates with more than 17 entities from different Arab countries nominated. The ACN Arab Technology Awards jurors short-listed 6 entities from both government and education sectors from which ADSIC was selected as the best implementer of the year.
It is worth mentioning that ADSIC issued the second version of IT Architectures '&' Standards reference set during the second inter-government entity forum of the Abu Dhabi e-Government Program held under the strategic theme "Realization of A Service-Oriented Government" on July 22, 2008. The first version was issued in 2006, setting a strong foundation from which Abu Dhabi is advancing towards the digital government domain.
The Abu Dhabi IT Architecture and Standards is considered a cornerstone of the e-Government initiative mandated to ADSIC upon the high directives of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, The UAE President and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, and His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Deputy Supreme Commander of UAE Armed Forces, and Chairman of The Executive Council. The Abu Dhabi e-Government initiative is an integral part of the far-reaching Emirate Policy Agenda.
