50% government IT workers to occupy roles by 2023 that don’t exist now: Report

MUMBAI: As transition to digital governance gains momentum globally, over half of government IT workers by 2023 will occupy roles that don’t exist today, a report said on Wednesday.

The Gartner CIO survey found that 53 percent of digital initiatives in government organisations have moved from the design stage to early stages of delivering digitally-driven outcomes — up from 40 per cent last year.

Additionally, 39 per cent of governments expect Cloud services to be a technology area where they will spend the greatest amount of new or additional funding in 2019.
