Public sector tech leaders spoke of their cloud strategies in a recent panel discussion.
Rashika Ramlal, public sector country leader, South Africa, AWS; CIO of South Africa’s Department of Public Enterprises Norbit Williams; Kutlwano Chaba, chief digital officer, SALGA and ITWeb senior news journalist Sibahle Malinga.
Williams said even though the DPE isn’t a direct public-facing department, its enterprises are – and transition to the cloud is vital for service roll out. Williams said: “We obviously need to provide some sense, some semblance of what is going on across the entire value chain within the public enterprises environment, and that includes how, Eskom, for instance, will benefit, along with Transnet and Denel, by being part of the digital portfolio we are looking at in order to deliver services and deliver them adequately.”
The framework is used as a reference guide to help municipalities, all of which are at different levels of digital maturity, to begin with cloud adoption and understand what technology resources and skill sets, are required to achieve objectives. There is a need for municipalities to have the same systems, same interfaces and approaches, and this is the rationale behind its Connected Citizen programme.
