What the buyer was looking for
1Inferred operational need
The GPAA administers pension benefits for ~1.85 million government employees, pensioners and beneficiaries. Legacy systems (CIVPEN mainframe, PEKWA ECM, Tax Directive, Oracle BI DW, Central Data Repository) require maintenance and support until they are replaced by modern, integrated solutions. The new service will modernise the GEPF Self‑Service Mobile App and Web Portal, ensuring 24/7 availability, secure integration with mainframe services and alignment with GPAA architecture.
