Microsoft South Africa and SITA sign a MoU for government adoption of public cloud services.
South Africa’s State Information Technology Agency (SITA) will be moving its government services to Microsoft’s Azure cloud. Making Microsoft’s cloud the only public cloud that can be used by the South African government. A move Microsoft believes will accelerate the digital transformation of government services in South Africa. Microsoft and SITA signed the MoU at GovTech 2019 taking place at the Durban International Convention Center in Durban.
When we decided to invest in public cloud in South Africa we did so believing that it would have a dramatic impact on the country.
The memorandum of understanding will empower Microsoft to engage with the National, Provincial and Local government through SITA.
Microsoft welcomes this move by SITA, Microsoft South Africa Managing Director, Lillian Barnard shares. She iterated that “when we decided to invest in public cloud in South Africa we did so believing that it would have a dramatic impact on the country“. Cloud technology Lillian says will also empower the private sector to innovate in ways that help to drive economic growth and job creation.
It is in line with President Cyril Ramaphosa’s call for South Africa to embrace the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And the opportunities it presents. At Microsoft it is important for us to partner with government departments to empower their digital transformation. Help them to maximise their ability to build economic growth. Broaden social inclusion, drive good governance and achieve better outcomes for South African citizens.
MoU Overview
Microsoft outlines four areas of the collaboration.
Build solutions utilizing Microsoft’s Cloud Platform and capabilities as part of the Government Private Cloud Ecosystem (GPCE).
Assist Government with the responsible adoption of Cloud Services.
Contribute to the development of SMMEs and skills in the country so as to ensure a thriving digital economy.
Unlock value from the existing government investment in the Microsoft ecosystem.

Microsoft announces the availability of Office 365 on its datacenters located in South Africa. Customers in the region can now migrate their accounts starting today according to the announcement.
“We are proud to announce that Office 365 is now available on the local datacenters! Migrate your current Office 365 account today!“
In March this year Microsoft announced its cloud datacenters in Africa. To be located in Cape Town and Johannesburg, South Africa. With Azure being the first of Microsoft’s intelligent cloud services to be delivered from the new datacenters.
At the launch event Microsoft said its cloud based productivity solutions; Office 365 and Dynamics 365 intelligent business application services were expected to launch by quater three this year. However Microsoft now says customers should expect Dynamics 365 and Power Platform to be available in the fourth quarter, 2019.
What this means is that African customers can now have their data stored on datacenters in Africa. They can also expect better services with regards to latency, data residency and regulations.
Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for business are services Microsoft shares will be made available. As well as “many of the Microsoft Services that work in conjunction with this data, for example, but not limited to, Exchange Online Protection, Delve, Office Online, and Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection.”
With the availability of Microsoft’s cloud services delivered from Africa, it will mean local companies can securely move their business to the cloud.
