Cloud Computing as a Key Enabler for Digital Government across Asia and the Pacific
5 July 2021
11:00 A.M.–12:00 P.M. (UST+8)
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.
This webinar was organized to launch a new paper from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) on how cloud computing can improve government services. It will also look at the challenges facing governments and examine options to ease the way.
Featured speakers:
- Lim May-Ann, Executive Director, Asia Cloud Computing Association; Director, Access Partnership
- Marcus Bartley Johns, Regional Director, Government Affairs and Public Policy, Microsoft
- Semuel A. Pangerapan, Director General, Application and Informatics, Ministry of Communication and Informatics, Indonesia
- Kelly Hattel, Senior Financial Sector Specialist, ADB
- Facilitator: Thomas Abell, Chief, Digital Technology for Development Unit, Sustainable Development and Climate Change Department, ADB
ADB’s Digital Technology for Development Unit under the Sustainable Development and Climate Change Department and its knowledge and innovation platform Southeast Asia Development Solutions organized the webinar.
