His party plans to add team personnel to help the existing teamwork. He said, “I always work hard and extra, I even apply rewards and punishment to my staff.”
Preparing the SPBE architecture next year
Regarding SPBE, the Southeast Sulawesi Provincial Government has taken several accelerated steps, including preparing the SPBE architecture next year, building a command center next year, and launching a correspondence application this year.
During the SPBE national coordination meeting in Jakarta, Deputy Minister of Communication and Information Nezar Patria emphasized that every ministry and institution needs orchestration with clear, directed, and measurable authority to accelerate the implementation of SPBE.
One of the measures taken by the Ministry is to provide interoperability for 2,700 data center server rooms and 24,000 applications managed by ministries, institutions, and regional governments. Nezar added, “Other measures include ensuring community resource capacity and community participation in utilizing the infrastructure and SPBE built by the government.”
As the Chief Technology Officer of SPBE in accordance with the mandate of the Presidential Regulation on SPBE and the Presidential Regulation on SPBE Architecture, the Ministry of Communication and Informatics is responsible for organizing the e-government system infrastructure and coordinating the development of its applications.
“The implementation will surely be carried out in coordination with both the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (Kemenpanrb) as the SPBE coordinator and the ministries or institutions that oversee related public services,” added Nezar Patria.
Therefore, the Ministry of Communication and Informatics is ready to collaborate with relevant ministries, institutions, and stakeholders to organize SPBE and present the supporting policies in accordance with applicable legal corridors.
“As a follow-up in the development of SPBE, its implementation must be accelerated and have concrete outputs, outcomes, and impacts until the end of this administration’s term. This needs to be done as a strong foundation for the sustainability of SPBE in the next government period,” concluded Nezar. (Translated by Sinta)
