What is eLA2?

eLA2 stands for Electronic Local Authority Version 2. It is a complete revamp of the system in used by The Ministry and the Local Authorities throughout Sarawak, replacing software systems that are obsolete and do not conform to the security audits as set by Jabatan Audit Negara and the Internal Audit Unit of the Chief Minister’s Department. The idea of this project can be traced back to 2009, with the joint effort from both the SITRC and Sarawak Information System Sdn. Bhd.

eLA2 consolidates all the system and data from all the Local Authorities in Sarawak into a single unified system. This unification of data made it possible for any single LA to access the database of another LA with the right authority.

At the same time, all the Local Authorities were brought together with a simple goal in mind – to standardize and to uniform all the business processes of the Local Authorities into a single unified and agreed standards of practice through business process re-engineering. The BPR serves as the basis to transform the business processes in use in the Local Authorities into a standard that is up to date and one that is suitable to be implemented across all the Local Authorities in Sarawak.

The eLA2 project as a whole is an initiative to address the readiness of the Ministry and Local Authorities under its charge in terms of IT infrastructure, software, security, database integrity, human resource, management, technical skill pool and business processeses.
