The challenge

RAKTA's ICT function had grown reactively. Leadership needed a defensible strategy, operating model and sourcing approach that aligned with emirate-level shared services.

Our approach

  • Benchmarked against three peer transport authorities in the GCC
  • Mapped 70+ applications and rationalised the portfolio
  • Designed a federated operating model with clear RACI
  • Built a 5-year financial model with run/change split

Outcomes

  • Board-approved 5-year ICT strategy with funded year-1 plan
  • 27% reduction in projected run-cost via portfolio rationalisation
  • Shared-services alignment with emirate digital authority

"Clear, pragmatic and grounded in our reality — not a generic template."
