For starters, it is worth understanding our size. 1.4 million people make it much easier to pull something like this off than, say, 320 million. The challenges are still considerable. The thing is that this basically means our key information systems must cloud-ready and such a migration triggers a change in the organisation. Which is not the main strength of a government agency. We are also looking at various ways of using cryptography as, to an extent, the control over the hardware must be relinquished. Overall this is a huge technical challenge driven by basically unique level of government innovation. Basically we a re-inventing what it means to be a country (see also e-residency).
