The Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MoTC) has signed an agreement with Meeza to develop and expand the second phase of Mawared, the government's Human Resource planning transformation system, continuing its pioneering efforts to digitally transform the country with state-of-the-art technology services.
The platform, which is implemented and operated under the supervision of the Ministry of Administrative Development, Labor and Social Affairs (MADLSA), caters to many government entities.
The agreement is considered the latest addition to the joint co-operation between Meeza and the government to automate Human Resources processes and procedures. Moreover, it expands the Information Technology infrastructure to include all the requirements of government entities, in light of the tremendous technological development and digital transformation currently underway in Qatar.
Mawared is a unified e-platform that leverages leading-edge technology in Human Capital Management (HCM) to manage government human resources, as part of the Qatar Digital Government Strategy.
The platform will allow MADLSA to develop, run and manage applications easily, without the complexity of building or maintaining the infrastructure needed, while aiding government entities in building their workforce capabilities and promoting HR services through a fully integrated, centralised database.
Mashael al-Hammadi, acting assistant undersecretary for Information Technology Affairs at the MoTC, stated: “Mawared is at the centre of Qatar’s strategic i-Government programme that integrates information systems to meet the needs of our growing tech-based society.
“With Meeza on board, we benefit from a range of prominent end-to-end Managed IT Services & Solutions that include the latest software that is essential to the development of the Mawared application.”
Farha Muhanna al-Kuwari, Human Resources Information Systems Centre director at MADLSA stated: “We are very proud of the progress and achievements taking place within the State’s digital transformation plan as it proceeds at a steady pace, carrying the hopes and aspirations of our people for a better future supported by the latest technological innovations in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.
“It is expected that the development of the Mawared platform will invite many other government agencies to join, which will promote their performance and enhance their capabilities to manage human resources more efficiently, providing easier access to data, and thus increasing efficiency, productivity and transparency."
Engineer Ahmad Abdulla al-Muslemani, CEO of Meeza, added: “Meeza continues to trailblaze the path towards full digital transformation in support of our country’s prominent objectives. With this new agreement, we enable end users to leverage the pioneering Mawared platform, one of the core tenets of the government’s digital transformation programmes, connect better with its workforce, and digitise its interactions with various stakeholders.
“Technology is the key to the success of our nation and our future. Meeza’s long track record in providing similar government-type services accelerates the achievement of such technological initiatives related to software and hardware platforms, data centres, and cloud priorities.”
The agreement comes within ongoing government efforts to digitise the human resource system Mawared. Meeza is fully-committed to providing support to the government in developing this system, based on its vast experience in the field of information technology.
Moreover, the agreement will introduce new technologies to the market that were previously not available in Qatar and the region, creating greater opportunities for tech-based development. Additionally, it aims to facilitate the digital transformation for various government entities looking to adopt the platform in the future.
