As part of its continuous commitment towards excellence through building a world class judicial system, the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department has unveiled its deployment of an advanced Network Infrastructure and Internet connectivity solution built on the latest Cisco networking convergence solutions.

The new infrastructure, which will be delivered at several locations of the Department, will provide a strong, secure infrastructural foundation to cater to its rapidly growing needs and play a key role in modernizing its operations. "Adopting best practices worldwide is given a top priority in the Department. Senior officials from the Department have made a tour to advanced countries to share expertise and look into their fruitful experiences. We carried out a comprehensive study of the proposal before selection, deliberating on providers’ expertise, proven capabilities and quality of service. We are quite confident that the solution and the accompanying service will exceed our expectations and the network will provide significant improvements in service levels," says Rashed Saqer Al Daheri, Director of IT department, Abu Dhabi Judicial Department. The Department has carried out a top-to-bottom review of its existing infrastructure in an attempt to design a customized efficient solution.
