Traisulee said the DES has estimated that the Government Cloud project will help the Thai government save on its digital infrastructure budget related to cloud rental services from overseas parties by 4.1 billion THB, or 76.2 percent of the invested budget, and greatly enhance the security of Thailand’s information technology system as cloud operators will be based in the country.
The project will also be an important stepping stone toward the transition of a traditional government into a digital one, and will fully utilise big data for efficient administration and policy making, she added./.
