We believe that the collaboration
between the government entities is
a key for successful digital transformation.

The Central Agency for Information Technology,
CAIT, was established in 2006
to be the central IT agency of Kuwait government.
CAIT`s mission is to empower the digital transformation of Kuwait.

Government entities are facing
many challenges in cloud adoption.
Challenges include lack of expertise and skills,
compliance with regularity requirements
and internal resistance to cloud adoption.
To support the digital transformation
we needed the trusted partner
that excels in cloud technology and cyber security.
Together with Microsoft we launched TamKeen,
comprehensive programm to drive the digital agent in Kuwait,
and it helps government entities in the cloud journey.
Through the Tamkeen Initiative
we assist each entity current situation
across three domains — infrastructure,
application modernization, cybersecurity
to blend their journey to the cloud.
By supporting government entities and
moving their infrastructure to the cloud,
we are triggering major improvements
in the availability of citizen services.
This was clear during COVID-19,
when the government was able
to deploy the cloud based application
in a quick manner free from
traditional hardware procurement challenges.
The assessment helps with the migration from
legacy application to modern scalable platforms like Azure.
This migration will bring
substantial efficiency gains to our entities,
as well as great cost savings
compared to on the premise infrastructure.
TamKeen cybersecurity assessment helps government entities
to move from just purchasing security products
to deploying integral and modern security strategies
based on the latest technologies.
