Internally, by consolidating and improving the existing information technology infrastructure of the Institution. Externally, by extending the digital transformation to European public administrations, further reducing barriers across Member States through a reinforced "government interoperability" policy and the provision of reusable and interoperable digital solutions and building blocks. This translates into the contribution to the following General Objectives defined at Commission level: “a modern, high-performing, sustainable European public administration” (General Objective #7) and “a Europe fit for digital age” (General Objective #2). In view of enhancing the overall performance of the Commission and based on the ‘open and inclusive way of working’ approach, DIGIT will contribute to “implement the full digitalisation of the Commission”, and to “face up ever evolving physical and digital security threats”9, as laid down in the Mission Letter addressed to Commissioner Hahn, responsible for Budget and Administration. The need to respond adequately to growing threats (with a particular focus on cyberattacks), and the need to better support the Commission through digital solutions when formulating and implementing its policies for the benefit of the Union, were translated into the elaboration of a European Commission Digital Strategy10 (the digital strategy) in 2018. The digital strategy represents the way forward to shape the Commission as digitally transformed, user-focused and data-driven public administration, as also advocated in the Political Agenda of the Von der Leyen Commission. Its Implementation Plan, approved by the Information Technology Cybersecurity Board (ITCB) in March 2020, further breaks down digital strategy-related actions, identifying outputs and milestones to deliver in the next years, in order to embrace the changes necessary to achieve a Digital Commission. On this basis, DIGIT has developed the specific objectives for its next Strategic Plan by referring to the core principles of the digital strategy, aligned with the latest digital strategy implementation plan.
