Government-owned Cenitex in Australia is working with Snowflake to provide a data platform for the state of Victoria’s departments and agencies.
The company provides support and technology solutions to Victoria’s public-sector departments and delivers essential ICT services such as identity and network management, security and cloud services.
Cenitex accelerates the time to value for Victorian public-sector departments and agencies implementing new technology.
Snowflake’s built-in AI capabilities can be assessed and leveraged if and when a department or agency is ready to implement AI solutions.
“This speed of deployment will enable participating Victorian state government entities to consolidate and enhance their data strategies while also enabling greater security and easier cross-department data sharing,” said Cenitex CIO Scott Tivendale.
“Snowflake is cloud-agnostic, which makes it ideal for data strategies across government entities, regardless of whether they’re using AWS, Azure or legacy infrastructure to store data,” said Tivendale. “This will also make data sharing much easier for those departments or agencies that wish to share critical data, regardless of where it’s housed.”
Theo Hourmouzis, Snowflake VP for Australia and New Zealand, said the public sector is constantly looking to deliver better digital services, but doing so requires clean, well-governed, secured, and accessible data.
“There is no digital strategy – whether its transformation, modernisation, or even AI – without a data strategy,” said Hourmouzis.
