Colao: 75% of PA on the cloud by 2026

Vittorio Colao, speaking in video link to the event Which City. Identity, size, beauty and citizenship rights, intervened on the digitization of public services: “We have to make sure that 75% of public administrations use cloudI services. The digitization of public services “currently sees us in 19th place in Europe”. “I don’t know how these rankings do and I think we are a little better but with the realization, by the end of the year, of the national digital data platform, together with the strengthening of the digital identity and the migration of public data to a secure and efficient cloud. , we aim to provide 80% of the main public services in digital format by 2026 and to ensure that 75% of the PA use cloud services ”. These two challenges – connectivity and digitization – are very important because, together and therefore not in a separate way, they will form the basis for carrying out the digital benefits for all citizens. I look to the future with optimism. I think there are the right ingredients to succeed. We have the resources: 50 billion euros in the NRP for the digital transition ”. The digital transition is a tool to help cities regenerate themselves: “first of all, obviously on the social level, because it offers equal access conditions to the high-speed network for all, and by reducing the gaps between groups of residents. Then on the administrative level, promoting more inclusive, transparent and efficient digital public services – let’s think for example of the impact that being able to receive the anti-Covid digital certificate on our telephone has had on all of us. I have had many friends and people who have expressed their enthusiasm to me because for the first time the State reaches and offers something to citizens in an easy and immediate way. Finally, on the level of liveability of urban spaces. Digital offers us the possibility to work, to study remotely, modifying our movements in a more sustainable way and therefore our relationship with the neighborhoods. But there are also important challenges. And it is on these that my work focuses from now to the next few months “.
