control system to support the multi-company, multi-disciplinary supply chains
involved in designing and constructing our developments," said Michaella
Kerckhof, Nakheel's Chief Information Officer. "BIW's application suite will
complement the powerful system we use to manage our internal business
processes, and will support tens of thousands of anticipated users all over
the globe."

processes to drive the rapid growth of the organisation internationally,
aiming to establish itself as the world's leading property developer by 2012.

"BIW is committing significant development and consultancy
resources to meeting Nakheel's exacting requirements," says Dr Asif Sharif,
BIW's General Manager, Middle East. "We recently inaugurated a UAE-based
hosting facility and brought on-line a dedicated global helpdesk to ensure
