Demonstration of industry leadership

Statutory Boards in the Singapore Public Service have some autonomy over Human Resource, Payroll, Finance practices and business processes while still being guided by the broad Public Service principles and framework. As part of the Public Sector Transformation efforts, Singapore Government embarked on an ambitious multi-year journey to consolidate systems and harmonise business processes, enabling shared services to be rolled out across the 41 Statutory Boards. The Cumulus project is a key pillar of our vision of being a Digital Government adopting cloud technology and digital tools to improve productivity, user experience and security and to better serve the citizens.

Provision of innovative product & service offerings

Cumulus Project brought together 41 Statutory Boards onto Workday, exploiting the latest technological innovations around Artificial intelligence/Machine learning capabilities, Chatbot with natural language processing and image recognition. This enabled public agencies to harness the power of cloud, learning from industry best practices to re-engineer business processes for greater efficiency. A common platform provides the single source of truth ensuring data integrity and quality which are essential to drive data analytics and data-driven decision-making for Singapore Government. It facilitates building of Communities of Practice among Human Resource and Finance professionals, cross rotation of public officers between Statutory Boards, improving talent attraction and retention.
