7th September 2015 - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

The Western Region Municipality (WRM) of UAE has become one of the first organizations in UAE to adopt Windows 10, the latest operating system by Microsoft. WRM will upgrade its entire computing infrastructure from Windows 7 and Windows 8 to Windows 10 Enterprise in a move that will help to enhance the productivity of its entire staff and hasten services.

WRM will leverage the new mobility features of Windows 10 to streamline collaboration between staff and enable instant data access in a way that will guarantee effective delivery of public services to citizens and residents. WRM has been exploring options for a comprehensive solution that would address its mobile computing needs to help it align with the UAE government strategy towards intelligent mobile services and smart government.

With Windows 10, WRM staff will be able to access their official data across devices on a single OS which can run on tablets, smartphones, and PCs. People can also interact with a Windows 10 device with a mouse and keyboard, touch, pen and ink or voice.

WRM Ahmed AbdulSammad Al Hammadi Acting planning and technology division manager "As a government department, our commitment primarily lies in dealing with the public and providing them with the best services. After testing and reviewing the features of the latest Windows 10 Enterprise, we realized that it was the best operating system that will enable us to achieve our goals through increased productivity, collaborations and service delivery. We have realized that Windows 10 Enterprise is the best solution to all the computing needs in enterprises and government departments and that is why we are now upgrading from Windows 7 and Windows 8. We would like to congratulate Microsoft on their launch of Windows 10 and to thank them further for developing such an innovative product that will certainly help to change people's lives in many ways."

WRM was impressed by the innovative features of Windows 10 Enterprise following the civic body's satisfying experience with the Windows 10 Technical Preview over the past months. WRM has been part of the Windows 10 Insiders Program and hopes to leverage Windows 10 Enterprise features to streamline services with enhanced mobility and collaboration between staff since the new OS requires little or no training for an upgrade from Windows 7, 8 or 8.1.

Muhammad Arif, ‎Windows Business Group Lead at Microsoft Gulf said "Windows 10 marks a new era in the world of computing and addresses the current changes in customer tastes and preferences. Users will now be able to enhance their productivity by doing anything from anywhere through quick access to their work on any Windows enabled device of their choice while still being secure. We wish to congratulate WRM on the implementation of Windows 10 Enterprise which will certainly enhance user experience and also allow the organization to streamline its services. We will continue to work with WRM in providing them with the relevant support they need through our implementing partners."

Microsoft partner, MDS Computers will conduct the installation of Windows 10 Enterprise at WRM to facilitate faster adoption.

Windows 10 Enterprise comes with features designed to meet the demands of medium and large sized organizations. It provides advanced capabilities to help protect against the ever-growing range of modern security threats targeted at devices, identities, applications and sensitive company information. Windows 10 Enterprise also supports the broadest range of options for operating system deployment and comprehensive device and app management.

Windows 10 Enterprise will be available to Volume Licensing customers, so they can take advantage of the latest innovation and security updates on an ongoing basis. At the same time, they will be able to choose the pace at which they adopt new technology, including the option to use the new Windows Update for Business.
