• Encourage collaboration and information sharing among RGoB entities;
• Capacity enhancement of both the ICT professionals and non-ICT personnel and users;
• Strengthen the ICT Industry to support e-Government;
• Migration of government systems into a Government Data Centre to avoid duplication of work, economy of scale, security, more optimal storage management and better performance/service level.
