Dubai Smart Government (DSG) has linked its government resources planning (GRP) systems with Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) to completely automate the government suppliers’ financial processes and salary payments.
The GRP systems allow suppliers to send their invoices, make enquiries, access their own data and enter commercial transactions online without visiting the government entities.
With the integration of GRP with DIB, the staff members of government entities can now encrypt and send due payments to suppliers and the salaries of the employees directly to the bank.
DSG director general HE Ahmed Bin Humaidan said activating electronic linkage and fully automating payment between DSG and DIB are aimed at supporting the accelerating transition to the smart government pattern.
"The GRP systems provided to government entities are vital infrastructure that they rely on for managing their core resources, help increase productivity, save the time and effort of government entities and suppliers, and support electronic payment between the two parties," Humaidan added.
"They also support the government’s shift towards a sustainable green environment by eliminating the need to exchange paper documents, minimizing the effect of vehicle movement, and providing a secure environment for paying money, thereby contributing to boosting the national economy."
