Australia's Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) has signed a new three-year agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for whole-of-government services and builds on the previous 2019 deal awarded to AWS.
This agreement will see AWS provide support for Australian Public Service technology and cloud upskilling, offer services through a standardized contracting framework, and expand benefits to all levels of government, including local councils, State and Federal Governments, and all public sector entities.
Chris Fechner, CEO of DTA, said: “With over 140 Commonwealth, state, and territory public sector agencies currently using AWS to support service delivery in areas such as transport, health, education, and tax, this new whole-of-government arrangement improves the value, reliability, and security of cloud services in government.
Louise Stigwood, MD for AWS Public Sector in Australia and New Zealand, said: "AWS is pleased to continue our long-standing partnership with the Australian Government through this new and enhanced whole-of-government arrangement. This arrangement includes access to more than 240 AWS services including leading Artificial Intelligence (AI), security, and quantum technologies to enable faster delivery of citizen-centric services.”
