Abu Dhabi Smart Solutions and Services Authority (ADSSSA) threw the spotlight on two of its pioneering initiatives - Tamm and AD Connect - during its participation at Malta's Public Service Week, which runs till May 27 in Valletta City.

The Public Service Week 2018 serves as a strategic platform for ADSSSA to showcase its recent series of achievements, including the establishment of a work environment that enables government entities to exchange digital data through secured channels - a project which was successfully implemented in cooperation with 15 government entities in Abu Dhabi through converting nine government documents to digital documents aimed at facilitating the provision of key services to its customers.

ADSSSA was able to highlight the features and advantages offered by Tamm, a first-of-its-kind initiative in the region that fully complements and falls in line with the Abu Dhabi vision to facilitate the lives and prosperity of its customers and improve the economic environment in the emirate. The system is based on an innovative and smooth design, which are solid foundations for providing integrated services to meet the needs and expectations of customers in a proactive, easy and efficient way that supports ADSSSA’s role in strengthening Abu Dhabi as a global centre for technological innovation.

Mansour Al Marzouqi, strategy and planning manager, ADSSSA, said: “We are proud to have been part of this year's Public Service Week celebrations in Malta, which gave us the strategic opportunity to showcase our TAMM and AD Connect initiatives, which reflect our continued commitment towards improving and facilitating better and improved services of the government sector. These initiatives have been developed to further enrich the experience of our clients and have been created in accordance with best international practices, while also serving to enhance cooperation and coordination among government entities in Abu Dhabi. The creation of a unified government service system gives customers in the emirate the ability and advantage of accessing an integrated set of services - a one journey that takes away the need to make multiple visits to complete a transaction. These initiatives fall in line with the continuing smart transformation efforts and Abu Dhabi Vision 2030.”

“ADSSSA’s initiatives aim to provide high-level government services to all segments of society and to create flexible solutions and mechanisms that meet their needs through the development of innovative and integrated services. Our participation at Public Service Week 2018 is an important step to discuss Tamm and AD Connect initiatives—highlighting their roles and objectives, particularly with regards to enhancing the efficiency of government services and the efforts to establish mutual coordination among various government entities concerned with serving locals, residents and visitors in Abu Dhabi. We are keen to enhance cooperation with various government institutions to help develop an enhanced service delivery mechanism and provide a unique customer experience that meets their needs through the utilization of the latest technologies and digital innovations, ensuring the highest levels of happiness and quality of life for them and the community in general,” Al Marzouqi added.
