The Department of Finance (DOF) Abu Dhabi has upgraded its IT infrastructure and networks in all of its sites and server rooms, in addition to upgrading its Internet call systems.

With this, DoF aims to enhance security levels within its infrastructure, in addition to developing it to become better equipped to handle applications and usages by DoF and the Customs Administration.

“This system upgrade will enable us to execute our tasks more efficiently. DoF is committed to enhancing its tools, systems and resources to raise performance levels and achieve sustainable growth for our emirate.”

“This move will not only maintain the standards of excellence adopted at DoF, but it also reinforces the IT Directorate’s achievement of  receiving  first place for its infrastructure development efforts among 22 other directorates in Abu Dhabi,” he added.

Al Hamli explained that DoF recently applied the Oracle R-12 system to be utilized for all financial operations relating to many government departments in Abu Dhabi.
