The State Information Technology Agency SOC Ltd (SITA) is a public entity responsible for the provision of IT services to South African Government.
The Government of South Africa, repesented by the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, is the sole shareholder and owner of the State Information Technology Agency (SITA).
SITA’s role is to consolidate and coordinate the State’s information technology resources to achieve cost savings through scale, increase delivery capabilities and enhance interoperability.
SITA currently offers end-to-end solutions across a complete spectrum of IT services to multiple national, provincial and local government departments.
SITA was established in 1999 to consolidate and coordinate the State’s information technology resources in order to achieve cost savings through scale, increase delivery capabilities and enhance interoperability.
The State Information Technology Agency is committed to leveraging Information Technology (IT) as a strategic resource for government, managing the IT procurement and delivery process to ensure that the South African government gets value for money, increased productivity; qualitative solutions, services and products; and uses best practice IT approaches in its modernisation and the delivery of services to all citizens.
In short, SITA is the IT business for the largest employer and consumer of IT products and services in South Africa – the Government.
Furthermore, the Act separates SITA’s services into mandatory services (i.e. SITA must provide), and non-mandatory services (i.e. SITA may provide).
SITA remains committed in all its engagements to adhere to the Government’s “IT House of Values”, aiming to achieve reduced costs, increased productivity and increased service to our citizens.
