Incremental, step-by-step improvements to government effectiveness will be often the only ones affordable in the short-term&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;Agility in architectural design, management and sourcing is the only way forward for smart governments that want to make information technology a key enabler and trigger of long-term sustainable service delivery&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>IDC Government Insights&#8217; Top 10 Predictions for the EMEA public sector for 2013 and beyond are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Governments will begin to adopt third-generation platforms that combine cloud, Big Data, mobile, and social business to create higher public value.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Cloud computing will be deployed as private or public cloud; hybrid clouds will be less than 20% of projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The pervasiveness of third platform technologies will drive increased demand for federated IAM initiatives, rather than centralized national ID programs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>At least 30% of government Big Data initiatives will fail to deliver adequate return on investment due to narrowly focus technical implementation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The highest value for money of Big Data and analytics will be in cross-department initiatives, but domain-focused projects in criminal justice, tax, and welfare will still represent more than 70% of deployments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Tight scrutiny on government costs will limit government IT investment in net new solutions, or full replacement of existing systems to less than 25% of ICT budget.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Strategic sourcing will become more popular as a means to reduce costs and time to market, but it will still represent less than 20% of ICT spending in 2013.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>At least 70% of shared services built on the premise that they can attract users outside of their core constituency will not achieve their objective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>At least 60% of funding for smart cities projects will be focused on smart energy and intelligent transportation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>At least 70% of smart cities programs that will succeed between 2013 and 2015 will be governed by joint ventures that include city leaders as key stewards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Related articles<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Govt websites defaced: Sita\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/internet\/28292\/govt-websites-defaced-sita\/\"><strong>Govt websites defaced: Sita<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sita boosts staff for IT projects\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/it-services\/27378\/sita-boosts-staff-for-it-projects\/\"><strong>Sita boosts staff for IT projects<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Dina Pule scores an E\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/government\/28001\/dine-pule-scores-an-e\/\"><strong>Dina Pule scores an E<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Governing the global Internet\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/internet\/27348\/governing-the-global-internet\/\"><strong>Governing the global Internet<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The IDC has revealed key trends and developments that will impact EMEA public sector&#8217;s business and technology investment decisions in 2013 and beyond. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":24989,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,23,31],"tags":[3959,26,625],"class_list":["post-28301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cloud-hosting","category-government","category-it-services","tag-big-data","tag-headline","tag-idc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28301"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28714,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28301\/revisions\/28714"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
