Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Dubai Chamber) has joined Digital Dubai’s Government Resource Planning Systems (GRPS), which is already implemented across 70 government departments benefitting more than 73,000 employees in the emirate.
GRPS offers an integrated bundle of secure, standardised, central solutions, and Dubai Chamber officials and employees have access to more than 40 smart systems and applications. This, in turn, will serve to boost productivity and efficiency at the chamber by streamlining operations, cutting costs, and saving time.
The systems allow participating entities to handle all key internal government operations in the financial, logistics and human resources fields, including salaries, recruitment, financial transactions, supply chain, and asset management.
“The Government Resource Planning Systems is a vital tool in our arsenal and one on which we rely to fulfil our mission of driving Dubai’s digital and smart transformation,” asserted His Excellency Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, Director General of Digital Dubai Authority.

“The advanced systems allow participating government entities to streamline and automate their procedures, boosting their effectiveness, their competitiveness and their attractiveness to customers, whether individuals or businesses. The systems also make tasks to be handled more easily and efficiently for tens of thousands of employees.”
“Dubai Chamber plays an instrumental role in advancing the business community in Dubai and enhancing the emirate’s status as a hub for business, investment and entrepreneurship.”
“With this in mind, it was extremely important for us to bring the chamber on board in implementing GRPS, which will impact not only its operations but also those of its members, ultimately benefiting the emirate’s economy as a whole. We look forward to adding more entities to the list and continuing our efforts to boost government integration and digitalisation in Dubai,” H.E. Al Mansoori added.
H.E. Hamad Buamim, President & CEO of Dubai Chamber, said: “We are proud to join the GRPS – a state-of-the-art system that has made the Chamber’s operations more efficient and improved its capabilities and services to the business community. The Chamber has been a pioneer in fully integrating all of its financial services into the system in cooperation with Emirates NBD and ADCB, which has made our transactions with suppliers and employees seamless.”
H.E. Buamim said the Chamber managed to transition to the GRPS system within 6 months, which he described as a milestone achievement, given the huge amount of time and resources required by the project.
