GovTech designs all have the commonality of seeking to support a modern digital government across the public sector in contrast to the siloed approach to entity-based solutions.
Designs include approaches to problem solving innovation and collaboration by breaking away from traditional procurement and sourcing approaches as well as identify, building, and deploying the GovTech building blocks of information, platforms, and services.
GovTech designs are grouped as per their alignment to the relevant GovTech capabilities:
- Government as a platform (GaaP) Designs
- Government as a service (GaaS) Designs
- Collaboration and innovation Designs
