Short, practical writing on the things programmes in the GCC keep getting wrong, information requirements, common data environments, ISO 19650, and the integration work that makes platforms agree. Stated plainly, from delivery experience.
The standard is named in tenders across the UAE and KSA, and enforced far less often than it is cited. The gap between the two is where most programmes lose control of their information.
Almost every programme says it has a CDE. Most have a shared drive with permissions. The difference decides whether information can be trusted when a decision depends on it.
The constraint on most programmes is not a missing platform. It is the same information being re entered across the platforms already in place, and reconciled by hand.
If a programme you run is reconciling information by hand, the fastest way to fix it is a conversation about where it breaks. Access is by engagement.
