This is not an achievement, but the real achievement is that this date will coincide with the day set by HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, To the Government of Dubai Smart to move a qualitative shift in the delivery of all services, and the completion of all internal and external transactions to all departments and entities in Dubai without papers!

This will not be a confusing picture. Electronic transactions will not be integrated into paper, as is currently the case, and the process will not be mere slogans launched by the departments. Rather, it is a real practice whereby the issuance of papers will be completely stopped between the dealers and government agencies on the one hand, And departments on the other, but in all internal procedures of all departments.

"We will celebrate this date with the latest paper issued by the Dubai Chambers, and we will keep this paper in history for future generations that will never see such papers," he said.

This is a new challenge, which is the first model of its kind in the work of governments globally, and certainly will not reach a positive result integrated unless the government fully cooperate with the efforts of the Government of Dubai Smart, the issue is not the powers of each department to maintain and not waiver, There is a supreme goal and the highest interest is the reputation, status and future of Dubai as a sophisticated city to offer the best in all areas, and to achieve this goal Vltns every circle of narrow interest whatever!

To reach this goal on that date or even before that date, the Dubai Smart Government has devised a three-pronged strategy that requires the cooperation of all: firstly, the need to meet technical needs; secondly, enact legislative changes to enable paperless transactions in all institutions; Spread the culture of change to overcome the intellectual obstacles of individuals and institutions to promote the adoption of transactions and procedures without papers, and here is the biggest challenge to the officials of the Government of Dubai Smart, changing the mindset and the thinking of the community on the one hand, and employees of other departments on the other, is not easy at all !

What happened in Dubai is an evolution beyond imagination. From the beginning of the eGovernment until we reach the smart government, the development of the next stages is continuing. Now it is time for the third move. The most important thing is that the applications fill the smart phones, but the speed of completion without the need to review the authorities is still a stumbling block. , So the next steps are to break these stones.
