Team of coders, designers and architects to be housed in a Star Wars-inspired office.

The Singapore government is creating a new office to house a specialist team dedicated to developing digital services.

From July this year, the new Software Design and Development Centre of Excellence will house the Infocomm Development Authority’s (IDA) existing Government Digital Services team.

The team of developers, user experience designers and architects build digital services using an agile project management method where they continuously make small changes to the service based on feedback from user testing and research.

The team of “small but strong core of coders and engineers” will analyse data captured by a network of sensors across the city, said Minister for Communication and Information Yaacob Ibrahim yesterday.

Apart from developing services, the team will also be a consultant to government agencies.

The aim is to lower costs and increase the productivity of developing online services, IDA said.

“We must ensure that our e-services can offer citizens the most user-friendly and optimally-designed experience in a high-tech and seamless Smart Nation”, the Minister said.

The 13,000 square foot “lab” will be set up at Lucasfilm’s Star Wars-inspired Sandcrawler building in the government’s research and development park Fusionopolis, IDA said.

Elsewhere in the region, Australia created its own specialist e-government unit in January which has just released its criteria for digital services across the government.
