About SITA
SITA was founded in 1999 to consolidate and coordinate the state’s information technology resources to gain cost savings through scale, boost delivery capabilities, and improve interoperability. SITA is dedicated to leveraging information technology (IT) as a strategic resource for the government, managing the IT procurement and delivery process to ensure that the government obtains the most value for money, and utilizing IT to assist in the delivery of e-Government services to all residents.
In a nutshell, SITA is the IT division of South Africa’s largest employer and consumer of IT products and services, the government. Furthermore, the Act distinguishes SITA’s services as mandatory (i.e., SITA must provide) and non-mandatory (i.e., SITA may give). They remain committed to adhering to the government’s “IT House of Values” in all of its interactions, to reduce costs, increase productivity, and provide better service to our residents.
