4. Open, highly scalable and future proof technology

We avoid dependency on suppliers, their hardware and software, and their price policy, and are keen to use open source. We make sure that we can upscale flexibly at no cost. We want to anticipate the technological changes of tomorrow now and use them in a clever way: open & smart government, digital workplace, omnichannel citizen engagement, open data, open services, edge analytics, digital government platforms, internet of everything, web-scale IT, hybrid cloud, and IT…
We dare to choose what is not obvious now but what is future-oriented.
