MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCES (MoHR)
ICT STRATEGIC PLAN 2014 - 2018

12.25 INITIATIVE 4.7 - Development of MoHR ICT Strategic
Partnership Program

It is best for MoHR to develop a strategic partnership program to ensure

full depth understanding of MoHR requirements, whilst to ensure
continuity for continuous improvement and also not to loose the skillsets

developed through the implementation stage to be continued for
support, operations, maintenance and further improvements. Therefore,

the following key points shall be considered for MoHR consideration

subject to appropriate Government policies:
1) To have not more than three (3) Servers product makes but
not limiting to a single product make within five (5) years

period. Rationale are as follows:

· To maximise operations support familiarities and

continuation skillsets development

· To maximise spare parts interchange abilities

· To maximise discount factor on long term support

· Not limiting to only one product make will allow
competition for better pricing and support values

2) To limit to not more than three (3) programming language

platforms but to start with one (1) language platform using

Java and its associated middle wares to ensure
interoperability across the entire framework and ensuring
maximum security throughout the entire system. Overtime,

other technology platform may be considered after

organisation knowledge maturity increases.

3) There shall not be one (1) single solution suite for the entire
implementation to avoid “being stucked and locked” into
