“In the year of preparing for its fifty we want to work together .. in all sectors .. all segments of society .. all citizens .. all residents .. because we are united we can change the equations.” This is part of the set of strategic messages announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, said that 2020 is the year of its 50th year. From this phrase to His Highness, I partially chose: “Because we are united, we can change the equations”, because the equations are scientifically two parties whose main components are data, and by changing these data at one side, the result of the other party or the result of the equation for which it was formulated changes.
The year 2021 has always been of strategic importance because our leadership made it the end line of the race to achieve many strategies and plans, such as data compliance, and Dubai's paperless strategy, and many others, and although we have not forgotten that it is the year of celebration of our golden jubilee, since the middle of this December it has become It has more significance because the countdown to the next 50 to meet the aspirations of the UAE leadership and the people of the Emirates has begun with the proclamation of the year of its 50th year.
The last quarter of 2019 was an important chapter in the data life story in Dubai, not only in terms of numbers and results achieved in the field of opening, exchanging and publishing institutions data on Dubai data platform «Dubai Plus», but also in terms of the impact of teamwork in smart Dubai and government partners And from the private sector to achieve a clear goal is to achieve 100% at the level of data compliance by the year 2021, which is the recipe included in directing His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to the golden jubilee phase, “We want to work together”. Examples of teamwork include initiatives such as challenging data that It achieved a jump in the proportion of government actors Which has reached a percentage and even global interest in our data.
One of the most important keys to preparing for the next fifty is good and deep knowledge of each party with what it has of data at the same time that it cares about its other strategic pillars, and this is achieved through: classification of data, identification of the most important data, and regulation of their utilization, whether centrally or decentralized according to the case The need has evolved, and the added value has been achieved to benefit from this data, whether it is economical or in terms of activating the smart, living decisions of the entity.
The state of any institution today and its projects is a result of an equation designed and chosen by the entity as a methodology of work, and a major aspect of the input of this equation - whether we like it or not - is data resulting from our understanding of the current state of our institution, and our understanding also of what we aspire to achieve, and a fundamental part of the outcome of this equation is data that also reveals We have letters about successes and shortcomings in the process.
Since the equations at both ends of them are general data, its readiness for fifty needs from the authorities to give the data the role they deserve in addition to the other components of their operations, and we have many distinct examples that we can benefit from Emirati.
• «The state of any institution today and its projects is an equal result designed by the entity and chosen as a method of work».
