Atos to provide data security for South Australian Govt

The South Australian Government has selected Atos has one of its strategic partners under a three-year heads of agreement, to deliver managed platform services (MPS) for data processing and storage, as well as hyperscale cloud services management.

Mike Green, Managing Director of Atos in Australia, believes that hyperscale cloud services can make a different kind of public service possible.

“We are proud to be selected as a strategic partner for the South Australian Government’s digital transformation. Atos has developed a reputation within the government marketplace in Australia following its success with the Western Australian Government. We are excited to transfer that knowledge, experience and deep insights to embark on this journey towards a safe and citizen-centric future in South Australia,” Green said.

The new contract agreement combines government agencies’ requirements for data processing and storage across various platforms and configurations (physical and cloud, managed and unmanaged hosting, state-owned and supplier-owned servers) into one contractual arrangement. This will allow South Australia to access, store and process data safely and reliably.
