In regional or provincial government, the office of the chief of staff, or head ministry, provides a broad array of support functions to elected officials, including policy communications, stakeholder engagement, administration, and operations. Today, administration and operations also often include managing technology infrastructure and services for local government agencies, including networking and cybersecurity.

The provincial head ministry of one the largest Latin American countries operates a network that provides regional agencies with Infrastructure-as-a-Service and Software-as-a-Service solutions through its on-premises data centers. This network serves thousands of geographically dispersed sites and interconnects data centers throughout the province.
