The document proposes a centralized Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system called ADERP for 64 government entities in Abu Dhabi. ADERP will integrate financials, procurement, human resources, projects, and business intelligence capabilities on a shared infrastructure platform. This is expected to align with Abu Dhabi's 2030 vision, improve compliance with financial laws and regulations, provide unified reporting, reduce costs through economies of scale, and increase autonomy and support for the entities. The system is estimated to save over AED 750 million compared to separate ERP deployments across entities.

It is required that all government entities whose budget is constituted within the general budget to adhere to the approved government chart of accounts
The Instructions require a consistent implementation of a unified chart of accounts across all government entities, adhering to the approved DoF CoA. This is not the case across all government entities today, and would be both enabled and enforced through a centralized system with one CoA

Several
[entities are required to use a unified payroll system across the government, with the DoF responsible for reviewing payroll variance]
A centralized HR system would greatly facilitate a consistent system for payroll by entities and variance review and analysis by DoF, which would otherwise be very cumbersome to manually review without errors
