Agenda

Public IT Cloud Services to grow 7X

46% of all IT spending by 2016 will be for

cloud-related platforms and applications.

Cloud Solutions

On-demand access to a shared pool of configurable

computing resources (e.g., networks, servers,

storage, applications, and services) ..

customers typically pay on a per-use basis

Use SaaS for Support Functions

• Governments need to apply the

80:20 rule and pay more

attention to core functions.

• The use of cloud platforms

such as SaaS model for

support functions could make

a big difference!

National PaaS and IaaS initiatives

Due to security

concerns, governments

may develop nation-wide

cloud platforms and

infrastructure to support

speeding up

transformation

programs.

Agenda

The Primary Challenge of Transformation

Identify that the user of the

device is authenticated

(the rightful) owner.

Identify that the

device is authorized

Ubiquitous eID

proxy for the real identity of an individual (or organization)

representation and presentation of a

set of credentials to assert identities

Government Digital Identity Systems

extending the use of government issued digital identity

systems to addresss electronic authentication needs

UAE Secure Mobile ID Solution

Digital identity

credentials will be

replicated to GSM

cards ..

A National Trust Centre is set up to provide

online validation services ..

Agenda

Connected Government: Which way?

Lots of frameworks, approaches and solutions..

but no single one to guarantee delivery!

Interoperability

Finding a mechanism to enable scattered

governments systems to talk to each other

..

Agenda

What is Open Data?

Certain data should be freely available to everyone to

use and republish as they wish, without restrictions

from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control

(data dissemination).

What is Open Data?

governments to

evolve and

transform into

citizen centric

operational

models; data

needs to be

shared and

shared

proactively.

Open Data Heat Map

* Darker shades of green indicate more openness

Countries are being ranked based on availability of data,

accessibility to data, digital format availability, timeliness

and frequency of updates.

Open Data Dimensions

Governments need to put in place open data strategies

with clearly articulated objectives and outcomes.

What is Big Data?

.. represents valuable insight from large amounts of

structured, unstructured

and fast-moving data.

Big Data: Better Decision Making

The Promise of Big Data

Enabled government transformation through new

capabilities to increase productivity, provide

future insights, and increase innovation.

Complexity will remain an Issue!

Main challenge: shortage of skills

[USA will face shortage of around 2

million data analysts with know-how

to create and use big data]

Big data benefits

are unimaginable!

It has the potential

to turn the world

upside down!

Big Data 2013

revenues

estimated at $18.8

billion. By 2017, it

is expected to

grow by 200% to

$50.1 billion.

Knowledge Management

Creating a smart government is strongly associated with the application of knowledge management.

Knowledge Management Focus:

.. who create &

use knowledge

.. & technologies by

which knowledge is

created, maintained

& accessed.

.. by which knowledge is stored & disseminated

(manuals, databases, intranets, books, heads).

Building National KM Framework

Not only sustainable, but also

serves to generate accelerated

national growth rates.

we cannot solve using the

same level of thinking that

existed when we created them”
