The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) has launched an ambitious plan to develop a high-tech Performance Management System. The new system, on par with latest international best practices, will be designed by Microsoft Consulting Services and is specifically tailored to meet the requirements of the department. This is in line with ADJD’s five-year strategic plan and it aims at accelerating its pace towards a 21st century judicial system in the Emirate.
H.E Sultan Al Badi, Undersecretary of ADJD, said: "The new PM system will enhance ADJD's ability to track and monitor key initiatives based on performance measures. Moreover, it will provide a tool for measuring initiatives against ADJD’s strategic goals and objectives to better understand and analyze the progress ADJD is achieving."
Al Badi added: "PM System will analyze and extract data from many layers of sources for accountability, decision support, and performance reporting. It will be designed to translate raw data into insightful information to track progress and most importantly improve ADJD staffs' ability to embrace change . Training courses will be conducted for PM System users on the tools used to track progress and identify achievements".
Being a key driver in the modernization and restructuring effort of the ADJD, the proposed performance management system will help ADJD define performance measures, monitor, evaluate and make recommendations.
Al Badi added: "The ADJD is engaged in a restructuring effort that aims to create a more efficient, open and modern judiciary for the Emirate. Under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Presidential Affairs and Chairman of ADJD, we want to deliver best in class services to court users while creating a productive, merit-based and rewarding work environment for ADJD employees."
"The Abu Dhabi Government has been a visionary in the development of technology infrastructure across various government entities. Microsoft is pleased to partner with the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department to design a performance management system that will increase efficiency and effectiveness across the organization, said Ihab Foudeh, Enterprise Group Director, Microsoft Gulf.

Microsoft is committed to work with governments to promote innovation and growth through technology solutions that provide an environment for collaboration thereby empowering them to make better informed business decisions."
The new system will be designed in accordance with ADJD's operational action plans. The Performance Management system will help ADJD achieve its target operational environment by developing a flexible and adaptable architecture to collect and analyze information from various data sources, within the department.
