IT outsourcing market in APAC by government sector
Governments in APAC are introducing more "citizen-focused" solutions — a step to stay closer to taxpayers and voters that directly influence their finances. This step is in line with the growing need to increase the productivity of their public services. Also, e-government resources are pro-actively working to improve public sector efficiencies and rationalize governance systems, which would support sustainable development. Solutions such as e-governance and e-payment are gaining popularity with governments prioritizing customer services.
Increasing spending on e-governance initiatives by governments in APAC countries such as China and India is driving the segment's growth. The Indian government is investing significantly in ‘Digital India’ initiative to make government services available on mobile devices. “The broadband expansion and smart cities planning are also in the pipeline as a part of Indian government's ICT initiatives.
