The Ministry of Foreign Affairs currently operates its own ICT platform and provides associated ICT services to its own business and Norad. Norad does not have its own ICT unit and receives all infrastructure and platform services, equipment services and the Service Desk from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' ICT section. Some user-friendly SaaS services, the subject system Tilskuddsportalen and Norad's websites are purchased and administered by Norad itself. The digital platform provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs consists partly of "on-prem" services and partly of Microsoft 365 and Azure cloud-based services. The latter is delivered in a joint tenant including for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Norad. The change means that Norad must establish its own ICT platform, acquire new supplier (s) of ICT services and study and establish its own internal roles in order to manage its own ICT services. Technically, the services in the joint MS 365 tenant will be re-established in a separate tenant only for Norad. This includes services such as Azure AD, M365 (SaaS) and Azure (PaaS). In addition, there will be solutions for the services Norad currently uses on the "on-premise" part of the Foreign Ministry's platform. It has been decided that a project will be established for this work and Norad now needs an experienced project manager to play an important role as leader of this work.
