The Partnership: A New Chapter for Digital Transformation
The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Kumulsoft Limited and the Department of Information and Communication Technology marks a significant partnership between the two parties, recognizing Kumulsoft as a key solution partner in the government’s digital transformation journey.
Key Objectives of the Partnership

β’ Implement the Fixed Asset Management System
β’ Achieve cost-effectiveness in government services delivery
β’ Grow the economy through increased government internal revenue
β’ Foster a whole-of-government approach to digitalization
The MoU signing has been hailed as a milestone by the Department of Information and Communications Technology, as it marks the first time the department has engaged with a private sector company to drive digital transformation.
Quote from the Department of Information and Communications Technology Secretary
βIt is an important and interesting milestone because it is the first time that we are coming into partnership with homegrown company Kumulsoft Limited, βMr Matainaho emphasized.βSince the passing of the digital government act in 2022, the act has called for whole government approach when it comes to digitalisation or everything from cloud hosting all the way to application and software service and Kumulsoft Limited happens to be one of those companies that has made quite big inroads into government and particularly with its Fixed Asset Management System.ββAnd one of the things that our policy highlights in our digital transformation policy in our digital government plan is that the whole reason why we digitalise is not just to adopt technology but we are looking at ways and means to which we can be cost effective in the way we deliver services to our people.βOur services must bring about efficiencies into our government services, it must cut down on operational cost and where we can increase government internal revenue. And then we are also looking at the broader picture of growing the economy.βIt is really enlightening and relieving to see companies like Kumulsoft achieving this objective from the private sector point of view while also growing their business.β
