Optical — Singapore Government’s Headless CMS
In an era of digital urgency, government agencies must deliver timely, trusted content to the public — while maintaining security, compliance, and operational efficiency. That’s where Optical CMS comes in.
Developed by GovTech Singapore, Optical CMS is the official Whole-of-Government (WOG) headless content management system. Built for public sector needs, it enables agencies to manage content at scale, collaborate across teams, and deliver modern web experiences — all within a secure, compliant framework.
Why Optical CMS?
Optical CMS is designed to support the realities of public sector content work — complex requirements, fast-moving updates, and governance that can't be compromised.
Key benefits include:
- Headless architecture: Flexibility to design front-end experiences without being limited by the CMS
- IM8 and Digital Service Standards (DSS) compliance out of the box
- WOG integration-ready: Seamlessly works with Whole-of-Government digital services
- Secure hosting and maintenance: Managed centrally by GovTech
- Scalable across multiple sites or agencies
Whether you're managing a single agency microsite or a large-scale digital ecosystem, Optical CMS offers the infrastructure to publish efficiently, safely, and consistently.
