Building Successful Hybrid and Private Cloud Architecture for a Future-Ready Government

Accelerating digital transformation and delivering innovative and secured citizen services with agility, scalability, and speed

Around the world, government agencies are working hard to meet citizen needs and weather the impact of COVID-19.

The “new normal” is driving the public sector to accelerate digital transformation initiatives to ensure that the citizens continue to avail themselves of government services uninterrupted and seamlessly. This is especially true during these critical times when every IT environment and every channel is facing strain.

While this transformation encompasses people, processes, and technology, it is the underlying technology that forms a foundation for a successful initiative. A big part of this shift is modernising the on-premises IT environments and applications that span data centres, edge locations, and public clouds.

In a fast-changing business environment, governments have showcased the value technology brings to enable a connected and innovative ecosystem. While organisations were focused on responding and adapting to the pandemic to ensure business continuity in 2020, 2021 marks a turning point with innovation becoming a priority for future-ready agencies looking to accelerate their growth.

A holistic approach that enables organisations to deliver superior digital experiences across any cloud, any application, and any device, seamlessly and securely, will become a critical success factor in Malaysia’s rapidly digitalising business environment.

Malaysia is progressing well to strengthen its digital transformation efforts and achieve a resilient, inclusive, and innovation-led economy.

The Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint ( MyDigital ) plans to boost the growth of the cloud industry by adopting a cloud-first strategy in the public sector and appointing Cloud Service Providers (CSP) and Manage Service Providers (MSP) to build Malaysia’s capabilities in this area.In the first phase (2021-2022) of the blueprint, the government aims to move towards a paperless environment and migrate 80% of public data to hybrid cloud systems by the end of 2022. With this cloud-first strategy, the government can engage in more effective data collection and management, resulting in lower information management costs in the long run.

Accelerating the Adoption of Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Environments

As public sector agencies seeking to drive innovation and deliver differentiated citizen experiences, they shouldn’t be worried about where the application or workload is located —but rather spend their time focused on developing better applications and services for their citizens.

The most prominent challenge facing agencies is the alignment of resources, particularly budget, with innovation. How can agencies modernise, re-platform, re-host, and re-factor applications—transition from monolithic systems to agile, streamlined microservices? The answers involve small, scalable steps.

Enabling Innovation and Productivity for a Distributed Workforce - Multi-Cloud as the Backbone

The adoption of cloud computing and SaaS apps has skyrocketed in recent months mainly due to the ongoing pandemic and has enabled agencies to effectively operate with a distributed workforce and remote working.These agencies are eager to capitalise on the speed, scale, and flexibility cloud-based infrastructure can provide to the anywhere workspace. But as cloud computing grows in popularity and transforms how public sector collects, use, and share data, it also becomes an attractive target for cybercriminals.

Addressing the challenges of a distributed workforce requires a modern, integrated approach.

Future-ready workforce solutions will enable a seamless and more secure digital employee experience, driving greater outcomes in the new world of work.

Intrinsic Security for Uninterrupted Innovation

An intrinsic approach to organisational security will provide an additional layer of robust protection for mission-critical operations and infrastructures to fast-track innovation and resilience.
