TAMM reports a 30% cut in service costs
Abu Dhabi says its government services platform has cut the cost of providing services by 30%. On October 16, 2026, the emirate announced a new company, Abu Dhabi Digital Services Company TAMM Global, to bring the platform’s technology and operating methods to governments abroad.
The announcement presents the move as an export of a system already used in Abu Dhabi, not simply a sale of software. TAMM Global is intended to manage and develop TAMM, operate specialist digital-service platforms, and own intellectual property linked to those activities. The company can also invest in digital-service opportunities in the United Arab Emirates and overseas.
“Through the announcement of TAMM Global’s establishment, we are building on that success by making capabilities developed and proven effective and efficient in Abu Dhabi available to governments seeking to deliver better outcomes for their people.”
Ahmed Tamim Hisham Al Kuttab, chairman of the Department of Government Enablement – Abu Dhabi
What foreign governments can license
The company will license TAMM’s platform architecture and apply the implementation methods and technical expertise Abu Dhabi used to build and operate it. Governments will be able to access pre-built services, service journeys and other digital capabilities, then adapt them to local laws, regulations and operating requirements.
That offer gives buyers more than a software package: the announcement also describes access to TAMM’s operating models and implementation know-how. Abu Dhabi says the approach could let governments deploy digital services faster without repeating every stage of platform development. TAMM Global is set up as an independent private-sector company, allowing it to work directly with governments, organisations and institutions.
More than 1,200 services sit behind the offer
TAMM began in 2005 and now brings together more than 1,200 public- and private-sector services through a single digital gateway, according to the announcement. Abu Dhabi says users save about nine visits to government service centres each year, or an estimated 12 hours per person or business. The government also reports a customer-satisfaction score of 94.5%, compared with 78% in 2022, before AI was integrated into the app.
The announcement links the platform’s growth to Abu Dhabi’s ambition to become the world’s first AI-native government. It also cites TAMM’s 2025 award for best e-government initiative at the UN-backed World Summit on the Information Society and its 2026 Government category win in the Gartner Eye on Innovation Awards for Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Pricing and launch plans are not disclosed
The announcement describes the licensing model but does not name prospective government customers, set out prices or give a schedule for deployments. Nor does it specify how TAMM Global will handle the technical integration and service changes required by each jurisdiction. The platform’s reported savings and satisfaction figures come from Abu Dhabi; the announcement provides no comparable results from an overseas deployment.
