Moving forward: technology an enabler for change
MITA stepped into 2021 fresh
from its recent 30th Anniver-
sary in 2020. Over the years
Malta's government ICT organ-
isation, MITA, has evolved from
a company focusing on support-
ing Public Service reform to a
multi-faceted Agency holding a
pivotal role in the evolution of
Malta into a world class infor-
mation society and economy.
Today, the Agency's client base
is Malta's Public Service and
Sector, where it provisions digi-
tal services to all Ministries and
nearly all public bodies.
Understandingly provision-
ing and managing hundreds of
information systems efficient-
ly and securely is no easy feat,
especially when services need
to be provided around the
clock and when such services
are vital for public service de-
livery.
Backed with its expertise as
a mature organisation and as
a trail brazier of best practic-
es and innovation in the cor-
porate ICT and Public Service
scene, MITA has managed to
build human resource talent
and technical infrastructure
platforms which allow gov-
ernment to act agilely and
productively in an ever-evolv-
ing working environment and
Public Administration.
Globally, the COVID-19 sit-
uation has impacted the work
environment and work pro-
cesses of millions of workers,
Malta and Malta's Public Sec-
tor being no exception.
Thousands of Public Sector
employees moved towards
working remotely; whilst the
use of government online
services by the general pub-
lic and businesses rocketed.
