Reliable government

Adaptable IT

A reliable government has to be many things: robust, agile, effective. And connected to the society it serves. Ordina helps public organisations stay true to their core values, with our four complementary propositions and the solutions that go with them.

An agile government with flexible IT
An agile government can respond quickly and effectively to evolving needs in society and organisations. All the more important in a time of major societal changes, higher expectations from people and businesses, and new political demands.

When new regulations, services and other initiatives are rolled out, existing IT often finds it difficult to adapt to the new requirements and needs. Deployment then drags on, slowing down your admin processes.

Flexible IT and information, on the other hand, makes governments more agile.

Ordina supports governments in building a composable IT landscape with our Composable Enterprise Architecture solution, so they can get the information they need, when they need it. This kind of landscape consists of functional components that are easy to replace, re-use, expand and connect. Think of it as building blocks, made up of existing and new digital applications.

With semantic data management, the data that components need to work with remain discoverable, available and adaptable. This creates flexible IT and information that makes governments more agile.

Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and agile working also play a crucial part in this. With ALM, old rigid information systems are deciphered and transformed into flexible, composable IT. Whereas agile working ensures IT delivers quickly in short, iterative cycles, which sees the business and IT work closely together.

Public sector organisations have to comply with extensive regulations. This is made even more complicated by the wide range of exceptions, complex arrangements and a multitude of registers and administrations. Ordina has a way to help governments be agile and get information to where it is needed. And it all rests on six pillars.

Composable enterprise architecture as a starting point

Composable enterprise architecture as a starting point

Many government organisations are busy modernising their application landscape to respond to changes more quickly, in both politics and society. This revolves around functional decomposition: breaking large systems down into smaller parts. Then you can meet your organisation’s needs by using building blocks to create a working solution. This is called a composable enterprise architecture.

No agile working without a data strategy

No agile working without a data strategy

There’s no doubt about it: an agile government needs a constant supply of data. To deliver that data, you need IT that can handle users’ and clients’ changing needs, requirements and preferences. This is where a digital data strategy comes in.

The world is changing rapidly. Whether it’s through societal shifts or new technology, we need to move with it. The challenge for IT organisations is to keep striking that balance between innovation and stability. It might seem like a contradiction, but it doesn’t have to be. The trick to achieving agility is simply planning ahead better.

Every year, the government spends billions on data facilities. That’s money well spent, provided the software achieves the set goals. The cost-benefit ratio is so important that there’s a need for a change in mindset. But aside from the massive budgets allocated to IT projects, many executives find it difficult to control complex projects because of the content.
