Transforming Government since 2001

Government today signed an agreement with telecommunications provider Digicel Business that will see the eventual connectivity of all government data and networks.

The $2.4 million deal will set up a Fiber Optic Wide Area Network (WAN) in the public sector that Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of the Civil service Allyson Forte said would provide the infrastructure for government to implement its human resource development strategy and e-government programmes.

At the official signing of the agreement at the Ministry’s Culloden Road offices this morning, Forte said the network would be a “secure and cost-effective gateway for government” and he added the extensive utilisation of IP telephony will result in cost savings.

General manager Digicel Business Martin Keogh described it as an “unprecedented agreement” that would make the government of Barbados connected “like it has never been connected before”.
