What eGov Jamaica does

The ICT Authority (JAMICTA), formerly eGov Jamaica Limited, is a statutory body of the Government of Jamaica operating under the Office of the Prime Minister, established under the ICT Authority Act 2019 and officially transitioned on April 2, 2025 via the merger of eGov Jamaica Limited and the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO). Its predecessor traces to Fiscal Services Limited, founded in 1985 as a single-client ICT services provider, evolving through eGov Jamaica Limited (2013) into the current statutory body with a national digital transformation mandate.

The organization operates a platform-plus-services architecture delivering both back-office shared infrastructure and citizen-facing digital services. The core infrastructure stack comprises GovNet (a secure wide-area network linking all Government of Jamaica Ministries, Departments and Agencies), GovCloud (data center computing), GovMail, GovTalk, and MyHR+ (consolidated HR and payroll). Citizen-facing products include GovPay and GovPayout (digital payments and government disbursement), the TAJ Mobile App (tax and fee payments), CGDS (digital certificate generation for motor vehicle documents), GDS, the GOV.JM national portal, and AMALIVE (digital proof of life). The portfolio spans 16 service categories including network, cloud, software development, enterprise architecture, ICT consultancy, digital governance, digital trust and identity, and national portal management.

ICTA is funded through annual Government of Jamaica budgetary allocations with supplementary support from partnerships and special projects. Its primary client base is Jamaican government MDAs, with limited private sector engagements (e.g., Kingston Wharves Limited). The Authority is ISO 27001:2022 (NSF-ISR) and ISO 9001:2015 (NCBJ) certified, and is compliant with the Jamaica Data Protection Act 2020. GTM is enterprise field sales-style — direct engagement with MDAs via service desk, consultation forms, and channels such as the annual GoJ Digital Government Technology Showcase and GovTech Talk webinar series.
