Amman, Sept. 15 (Petra) — Chairman of the Greater Amman Municipality
Committee Ahmad Malkawi on Tuesday inspected the municipality’s
Information and Communications Technology Directorate, reviewing its
work and key projects to upgrade digital infrastructure, improve the
efficiency of technical systems and services, and support digital
transformation and business continuity.

According to a municipality statement, Malkawi was briefed on a
project to upgrade the municipality’s technical infrastructure by
migrating from the PCA X5 platform to PCA X10, as part of efforts to
modernize its technology environment, improve system performance and
maximize the use of available technological resources and assets.

The project has progressed through planning, preparation, migration,
verification and closure, with the targeted migration from the legacy
platform to PCA X10 completed.

The new platform is now the primary operating environment for the
relevant systems, providing a more suitable technical foundation for
future growth and expansion.

Malkawi was also briefed on plans to repurpose PCA X5 to support the
municipality’s disaster recovery system rather than decommissioning
it after the migration.

The move will maximize existing investments, provide an additional
platform for service recovery when needed, and strengthen the
municipality’s readiness to address potential technical risks and
disruptions.

The next phase will include completing disaster recovery
requirements, including approving the final system design,
configuring backup and recovery processes, verifying services,
conducting recovery tests, and documenting and handing over the
system for operation to ensure full operational readiness.

Executive Director of the Information Technology Directorate Sultan
Kharabsheh said the infrastructure upgrade is an important step in
developing the municipality’s digital work environment by improving
the efficiency of technology resources and strengthening the
sustainability of electronic systems and services, and repurpose the
previous technical platform as an asset supporting disaster recovery
and business continuity.

He said the municipality plans to develop its disaster recovery
system at the Aqaba Digital Hub, strengthening business continuity
and enabling the recovery of technical services and systems during
emergencies as part of an integrated plan to enhance digital
resilience and readiness.
