More than SG$1 billion ($742.6 million) is up for grabs as the Singapore government earmarks 30% of its ICT budget for applications that will run on its commercial cloud infrastructure.
Singapore’s government plans to spend more than 30% of its fiscal 2023 ICT budget on cloud applications and drive efforts to move 70% of its systems to the cloud by the end of the year.
Running on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, the GCC provides government agencies with a framework to adopt commercial services offered by the cloud vendors.
The Singapore government employs some 150,000 professionals across 16 ministries and more than 50 statutory boards.
This deployment model helps streamline development efforts by tapping the government’s tech stack and its platforms for security compliance and interoperability.
