The UAE has decided to migrate the federal government’s enterprise resource planning system to the advanced Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications platform.
In a step that reinforces the UAE’s leadership in digital government and future foresight, the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources signed a strategic partnership agreement to launch the transformation of the federal government’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, an Emirates News Agency (WAM) report said.
Besides the migration to Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, the project includes supporting the development of the government work environment and enhancing the efficiency of institutional operations in line with the latest global practices in digital technologies and artificial intelligence.
