The document outlines Moldova's M-Cloud initiative to modernize its government IT platform using cloud computing. It aims to provide high-quality e-services to citizens through a cost-efficient cloud-based service-oriented architecture hosted across multiple delivery channels. The initiative will adopt an iterative development approach and transition public sector desktops to a virtual desktop infrastructure. It also discusses building IT management capacity, adopting technical standards, and implementing supplier performance metrics to ensure quality and transparency.
When two large companies merge, it often takes a while – years in some cases – before processes get redesigned to span all departments, and the new organization settles into a lean and profitable machine. And the same is true of OSS/BSS. These systems have been designed for two different purposes: to keep the network operational and to keep it profitable. But today’s demanding networks need the functions of both of these systems to work together, and to work across the varying lifecycles of products and services.

ZK Research: Virtual Infrastructure Creates Communications AgilityAvaya Inc.
The role of the CIO has changed more in the past five years than any other position in the corporate world. Historically, the CIO and IT department has been responsible for managing and running the technology infrastructure and has had little to do with augmenting the business. Today, IT leaders are tasked with deploying technology to drive the business and be a catalyst for change.
Cloud blueprinting is a novel approach that
lets developers easily syndicate, configure, and deploy virtual service-based
application payloads on virtual machine and resource pools in the cloud.
Cloud computing is getting tons of press these days. Everyone has a different perspective and understanding of the technology, and there are myriad variations on the definition of the cloud- William Fellows and John Barr at the 451 Group define cloud computing as the intersection of grid, virtualization, SaaS, and utility computing models. James Staten of Forrester Research describes it as a pool of abstracted, highly scalable, and managed compute infrastructure capable of hosting end-customer applications and billed by consumption. Let's take it a step further and examine the core principles, or pillars, that uniquely define cloud computing.

4. The Baseline
• Good Networking • Low number of e-services
Infrastructure available for citizens
• Good mobile communication • Segregation level of services is
infrastructure quite high
• Medium level of computer • Heterogeneous information
literacy systems
• Good ICT regulatory • Low effectiveness of the ICT
framework regulatory framework
• Strong support for ICT from • Increasing demand for high-
the Government quality e-services from the
• Strong support from citizens
Moldova’s strategic partners • Increasing demand from the
Government to lower the
operational costs
4 e-Government Center 25.05.2011
5. e-Services
• A high quality e-service is a
mature and fully automated
service made available online.
There are several types of e-
services - informational,
interactional, transactional.
• Most e-services will include
business process
reengineering.
• Each sector will extend the set
of e-services by implementing
more demanded ones first.
• A clearly defined set of criteria
for e-services prioritization has
been developed.
5 e-Government Center 25.05.2011
6. Modernized Government IT Platform Key
Principles
• Modern – the architecture should use modern, yet well
proven technology stack
• Cost efficiency – the architecture should lead to
optimal operational costs
• Modular – services should be organized as pluggable
modules to facilitate flexibility, maintainability and
scalability
• Simple – every module should follow “single
responsibility” design principle, thus should be kept as
simple as possible
• Accessible – the architecture should be built exclusively
using open standards
• Re-use – the architecture should reuse existing
information assets whenever is appropriate
6 e-Government Center 25.05.2011
7. M-Cloud Platform Architecture
• Cloud Computing based
Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA)
• Highly accessible e-
services through
multiple delivery
channels
• Facilitates
communication
between systems and
allows business process
orchestration
• Introduces shared
services across public
administrations
• Infrastructure services
(IaaS) provided by CTS
7 e-Government Center 25.05.2011
8. Cloud Computing and the IT Community
Source: trends.google.com
• Reduced Cost – Cloud technology is paid incrementally, saving
taxpayers money.
• Highly Automated – No longer do IT personnel need to worry
about keeping software up to date.
• Flexibility – Cloud computing offers much more flexibility than
past computing methods.
• More Mobility – Employees can access information wherever
they are, rather than having to remain at their desks.
• Allows IT to Shift Focus - No longer having to worry about
constant server updates and other computing issues, government
organizations will be free to concentrate on innovation.
8 e-Government Center 25.05.2011
9. Cloud-ready e-Services
• As a minimum architectural requirement e-services should
implement n-layer architectural pattern, thus facilitating moving to
different DBMS or adapting to new user interfaces when needed.
9 e-Government Center 25.05.2011
10. Cloud-ready e-Services
• Nowadays no information system is an island, therefore each newly developed service must provide
facilities for inter-service communications. All required technical specifications and message
contracts will be provided as part of national interoperability framework.
• Existing information systems will communicate through custom adapters.
10 e-Government Center 25.05.2011
11. Platform level services
• Flexibility – adaptability to
different use cases
• Neutrality – offer equal
possibility for various
providers to come into play
• Cost efficiency – allow
providers to compete on
quality of service and on
prices
• Maintainability –working
parameters are
configurable
• Fast reaction to change –
parameters could be
change at runtime
11 e-Government Center 25.05.2011
13. M-Cloud Iterative Development
M-Cloud
Phase II
M-Cloud
Phase I
• Phased approach facilitates:
– faster time-to-market;
– reducing implementation risks;
– early adoption of technologies and services;
– learning from feedback on previous phase.
13 e-Government Center 25.05.2011
14. Desktop Computing Strategy
• Gradually move to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
environment, effectively meaning replacing desktops
with terminals, thus gaining:
– Data Security: Keeping data within the confines of the
datacenter improves security.
– Reduced Hardware Expenditures: Consolidation and
reduced upgrades cycles minimizes hardware costs for
server and client side equipment.
– Easier Management: Perform centralized patching and
application installation or streaming without loading the
network.
– Mobile Workforce: User desktops are portable – users can
reconnect from any location with a variety of devices.
– Resource Pooling: Server based computing improves a
company’s ability to use resources as a common pool.
14 e-Government Center 25.05.2011
15. Technical Standards and Policies
• Our objective is to modernize
our ICT regulatory
framework, to align it to EU
standards and to support M-
Cloud platform.
• The policies are grouped in a
series of specific sections:
– Infrastructure
– Application
– Information

• More work to be undertaken by private sector;
• Implementation of Supplier Common Capability
and Delivery Assessment System (CCDAS) to
ensure dealing with suppliers which always
deliver on time, on estimated budget, and on
acceptable level of quality.
• CCDAS will contain KPIs split into three groups:
– Commercial
– Technical
– Relationship
• Low scoring competitors will not be qualified for
bid for Government work.
17 e-Government Center 25.05.2011
