CLOUD FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES
Cloud computing allows Local Government
Authorities (LGAs) to set up what is essentially
a virtual office, giving them the flexibility of
connecting to their business anywhere at any
time.
With the growing number of web enabled
devices used in today’s business environment
such as smartphones and tablets, essential data
is now simple and easy to access. The adoption
of cloud computing services in LGAs may also
provide a platform for Business Continuity and
Disaster Recovery that would normally be cost
prohibitive. This could assist in meeting compliance
requirements in respect to Disaster Recovery
Planning.
Why Cloud?
•
A secure, scalable, resilient, high performance
cloud based platform which can be delivered
either on or off premise
•
Ability to take advantage of a shared “Regional”
community cloud model, with LGAs sharing the
cost of the cloud whilst maintaining the benefits
•
Provisioning of a private or shared cloud can be
done quickly and efficiently
•
Minimal onsite installation costs
•
Low upfront capex investments
•
Just pay for what you use
•
‘Always on’ - as long as you have access to the
internet you can access your data
•
Provides effective mitigation from business
continuity events that could affect your local
infrastructure/building (e.g. bushfire, fire, flood
events)
