The NSW government has onboarded the services of the ASX-listed company as part of a new private sector engagement initiative.
Macquarie Government, a division of Macquarie Telecom Group, has become the first ASX-listed company to join the NSW government’s cloud purchasing arrangement panel, after signing a whole-of-government agreement.
The panel has been set up to support the delivery of cloud and associated services to NSW government agencies and other eligible non-government bodies.
This is expected to provide greater value for users by establishing a commercial offer based on whole-of-government volume.
Services include IaaS (infrastructure-as-a-service) – storage, network and security, and secure internet gateway (SIG) – and PaaS (platform-as-a-service), cloud training and cloud migration.
The agreement is set to facilitate access to Macquarie’s sovereign cyber and secure cloud offerings as well as its network and data centre services.
This includes Macquarie’s Sovereign Cyber Security Centre of Excellence (CSCOE), currently being developed in its Macquarie Park Data Centre Campus.
“The panel is a key element of the NSW government’s Cloud Strategy, which aims to rapidly advance the use of cloud services with the support of local providers,” Aidan Tudehope, managing director of Macquarie Government said.
“NSW is fast becoming a world leader in cloud and cyber security, and we are proud to be providing government agencies with these services for more than 20 years.
“This is a huge step in that journey, but it’s more than that. It illustrates the range of cloud capabilities sovereign Australian companies can now provide to achieve whole-of-government agreements, which have typically been afforded to multinational providers.”
Macquarie Government’s membership of the panel follows the company’s recent engagements with the NSW Department of Communities and Justice (NSW DCJ), aimed at delivering a managed security monitoring service.
The company was also selected by the NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet to provide secure file sharing services.
