The Statistics Centre – Abu Dhabi (SCAD) has signed a partnership agreement with G42 Cloud, an AI and cloud computing company and a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi-based G42, to utilise its advanced digital and AI solutions for improving SCAD’s statistical portfolio.
The partnership will see SCAD leveraging G42 Cloud’s hosting services and deployment of cloud-based software and systems, advanced platforms for big data processing and analysis, as well as technical consultancy support.
The Centre is going to develop descriptive, analytical and predictive statistical models across all its operations, utilising advanced AI applications and data sources.
The new collaboration aligns with G42 Cloud’s goals to support digital innovation in government services by offering SCAD a holistic set of AI solutions with highly advanced analytics capabilities to support its digital transformation efforts.
“At SCAD, we are keen to adopt advanced technologies and AI solutions to process various types of data accurately and objectively,” said Ahmed Mahmoud Fikri, director general of SCAD.
“We aim to provide reliable and high-quality statistics, analysis and research that support Abu Dhabi’s comprehensive and sustainable development process, as was the case for the Insights and Foresights platform, which contributes to improving the user experience in the government and private sectors, while supporting SCAD’s continuous efforts to provide added value services and enhance the solutions we offer our public and private sector partners,” he continued.
“This partnership will enhance SCAD’s vital role in developing fast, reliable and effective digital solutions for processing big data, and finding new statistical methods and applications, which in turn contribute to foresighting and identifying needs and challenges. It formulates policies at all possible levels through effective integration of AI and data,” added Fikri.
SCAD had recently launched its advanced Insights and Foresights platform (IFP) to provide statistical data, analytical models and advanced simulations using latest AI technologies in the field of data analysis.
IFP will enable decision makers within Abu Dhabi government to study social and economic impacts of various policies as it can predict the ones with highest efficiency in resource management and integration across the government services by offering SCAD a holistic set of AI solutions with highly advanced analytics capabilities to support its digital transformation efforts.
“This partnership provides a remarkable opportunity to support the development and digitisation of SCAD’s data processing and analysis processes,” said Talal Al Kaissi, CEO of G42 Cloud.
“Many government entities, organisations and companies rely on G42 Cloud services to meet a variety of use cases. We are honored to contribute to SCAD’s journey of digital transformation and support the development of its operations by utilising our intelligent, innovative and impactful solutions as part of our efforts to leverage AI technology across sectors to improve results,” he added.
Last month, G42 Cloud and Serbia’s Office for Information Technologies and eGovernment signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), as part of Expo 2020 Dubai, which would see both parties work on the joint development of AI and cloud computing solutions across various sectors, with a focus on healthcare, business and finance, in line with G42 Cloud’s commitment to boost its holistic cloud offering, and Serbia’s aspirations to advance its AI capabilities.
