Powering digital transformation with citizens at the centre
Amazon Web Services (AWS) gives federal, state, and local government agencies the tools and flexibility to build modern digital services so they can innovate on behalf of citizens using secure, cost-effective cloud services. Across Australia and New Zealand, government organisations choose AWS for meeting their unique requirements for security, compliance, reliability, and cost savings.
Federal and State Government
Federal and state government agencies are making a difference with Cloud infrastructure. With AWS, even the largest organisations can benefit from the fastest pace of innovation, the broadest and deepest functionality, the most secure computing environment, and proven operational expertise.
Local Government
Amazon Web Services (AWS) gives local authorities the tools and flexibility to build modern digital services so they can innovate on behalf of their communities using secure, cost-effective cloud services.
Benefits of Cloud for Government
DCS Spatial Services improves flood impact assessment time
During flood incidents across NSW, hundreds of gigabytes of aerial imagery are captured and analysed. The Department of Customer Service (DCS) Spatial Services collaborated with AWS, Deloitte and Charles Sturt University (CSU) to test the extraction of geospatial information using the power of cloud technology, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. This initiative has transformed impact assessment reporting for emergency services. The results obtained have not only streamlined the process but also slashed the time required to obtain crucial information from hours to mere minutes. This leap in efficiency translates to an enhanced emergency service response, impacting vital aspects such as evacuation planning, coordination of emergency support staffing, facilitation of recovery operations and swift release of emergency funding.
