Case Study: Malta Information Technology Agency achieves more flexible, secure digital government services with Microsoft Azure and Azure Stack

Malta’s IT agency delivers digital government services with Microsoft Azure and Azure Stack

The Malta Information Technology Agency (MITA), the IT organization for the government of Malta, faced the challenge of meeting high citizen expectations for seamless digital services. To empower citizens and improve lives through technology, they needed a modern, unified IT platform capable of supporting cutting-edge technologies like AI and blockchain. To address this, they partnered with vendor Microsoft Corporation and adopted its Microsoft Azure and Azure Stack services.

The solution implemented by Microsoft provided a hybrid cloud architecture that combined on-premises control with public cloud flexibility. This allowed MITA to meet regulatory requirements while gaining the power and scale needed for innovation. The results included greater agility, enhanced security for compliance with regulations like GDPR, and the ability to offer citizen self-provisioning for services. This modernization, part of a €40 million IT overhaul, positioned Microsoft’s solutions as a strategic advantage for MITA, with no limit on the future information systems they can now deliver.
