As the Splunk Industry Advisor to the Australian public sector, I work closely with government organisations and their leaders to understand their goals, objectives and the challenges they face in achieving digital resilience. This blog shares perspectives on how Splunk works with the Australian government to provide a unique approach to solve some of the public sector's toughest challenges.
The Australian Government has an ambitious Data and Digital 2030 vision to deliver simple, secure, and connected public services for all people and businesses through world-class data and digital capabilities.
Minister Gallagher's foreword to the strategy highlights the opportunities that data and digital technologies can have in improving government service delivery and decision-making, with a goal of better outcomes for all people and businesses.
The Data and Digital 2030 vision has an associated roadmap and implementation plan, which is made up of the following core components:
Splunk has been supporting Australian governments in implementing their respective Digital visions. We have a dedicated and passionate team of professionals spread across the country, supporting our Federal, State, and Local Government customers.
For over 15 years, we have been partnering with key government agencies to support cyber resilience and missions, data-driven decision-making and implement robust data-sharing systems. Building upon this trajectory, Splunk will continue to leverage our team's expertise and explore opportunities to extend our capabilities to serve the government effectively.
