Dubai Customs has earned the coveted Enterprise Architecture Award 2015, presented by Frost & Sullivan; a world leader in growth consulting and the integrated areas of technology research, market research, mega trends, economic research, customer research, competitive intelligence, and corporate strategy. The award was presented to Dubai Customs to recognise its Business Capability Management, developed by the Business Process and Enterprise Architecture at the Customs Development Division to upgrade corporate capability at Dubai Customs.

H.E. Ahmed Mahboob Musabih, Director of Dubai Customs, expressed his contentment of this remarkable addition to Dubai Customs credit of awards and recognitions in various fields and on a global scale. Dubai Customs is moving forward on the quest towards excellence and innovation with services that make clients and employees happy, Musabih stressed.

Commenting on the advantages of the Business Capability Management, Juma Al Ghaith, Executive Director of Customs Development Division, said that the project provides a comprehensive connected view of DCs business capability and determines the gaps and requirements of business units while putting forth a plan to fill these gaps. It also pinpoints strength and weakness points to help make informed decisions, offers improvement recommendations for business capabilities and devises an action plan for implementing these recommendations.

Juma Al Ghaith said Creatively upgrading the enterprise architecture helped create a conducive environment for divisions and departments in DC to bond and better manage capabilities, allowing DC to determine its structural strategy and formulate a clear road map and initiatives for corporate changes.
Hussam Juma, Director of Business Process and Enterprise Architecture Department at DC, said The Enterprise Connected View links and documents all corporate components, allowing a more accurate and speedy decision making process and facilitating an effective change management.
Counting Frost & Sullivans EA Award 2015 in, Dubai Customs has scooped three global awards for its Business Capability Management and Enterprise Architecture in 2014 and 2015, Juma added.
