DTA adding new sellers to Cloud Services Panel

The Digital Transformation Agency is updating the Cloud Services Panel of approved service providers with new sellers and solutions.

The panel is being expanded to list a total of 191 cloud service providers, two-thirds of which are small to medium businesses.

Due to an extended refresh rate, the agency expects to increase this to more than 250 by the end of the year.

Government agencies can use the panel to source a variety of cloud services including software-as-a-service (SaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and specialist cloud services.

According to the DTA, the panel now accounts for more than 40% of the government’s cloud spending, and it is growing at an annual rate of 55% annually.

Major providers listed under the panel include AWS, Cisco Systems Australia, Data#3, DXC Technology, IBM Australia, Microsoft, Optus, Telstra and Technology One.

Suppliers on the panel can provide services to all agencies covered under the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013, as well as other agencies by agreement.
