Dubai Islamic Bank Integrates @Task to Facilitate IT Project Management

Posted on: Thursday, 9 March 2006, 12:00 CST

AtTask, Inc., a leading provider of project management software, today announced that the Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), has selected @task as its enterprise IT project management solution. DIB's IT project managers will use @task to manage multiple projects, simultaneously, for the 24-branch financial services organization. DIB is the world's first full-service Islamic bank and is part of one of the world's fastest growing economic sectors comprised of close to 200 institutions responsible for more than $200 billion in assets.

Prior to selecting @task, DIB was also considering project management solutions from Microsoft and Oracle. The DIB selected @task because it is server and Java-based, provides enhanced security features, and information from @task can be quickly and easily integrated with other systems and applications.

"@task is easy to use, stable and secure, and all of the necessary information to manage our projects is conveniently available through a customizable Web portal," said Jawdat Jawied, the projects coordinator for the Dubai Islamic Bank. "@task is a complete solution for project management and gives our project managers a better picture of project schedules, costs and staff work load."

DIB will introduce @task to its IT staff in two phases and gradually assign each IT staff member a personalized @task portal. DIB project managers intend to use @task's task management system to create multiple layers of small activities for each staff member and will integrate the information from @task into other systems as needed. @task role and queue-based system helps staff members to better understand their roles and responsibilities, and easily manage their tasks.

"Because of its unique environment, the DIB required a secure system that could provide its IT staff with flexibility and scalability to manage multiple projects at the same time," said Abraham Knell, vice president of sales for AtTask, Inc. "The DIB provides a number of services, from Internet banking to mobile banking, so the bank's network needs to be up 24/7. @task provides a central location for work to get done, and allows managers to quickly and effectively communicate with their team members, assign tasks, track progress, manage workloads and report on areas of concern. Relationships are the lifeblood for all financial services organization, and we appreciate the trust the DIB has in @task's ability to help alleviate project management challenges and ensure project success."
