Publication Launch: Cloud Computing as a Key Enabler for Digital Government across Asia and the Pacific

05 July 2021

 

Governments are adapting to the “new normal” by rapidly scaling their digital services, generating more data-driven insights, and engaging with digital technologies at an unprecedented scale. One of the key enablers of this drive towards digital government is cloud computing. This digital infrastructure helps deliver government services in a more agile, faster, and cheaper manner compared with a traditional IT infrastructure. Yet, moving government systems into a cloud environment and integrating its full capabilities into new digital solutions comes with particular challenges in a public sector setting.

ADB has just published a working paper on this topic which was launched in a webinar featuring speakers from industry, government, and ADB.
