Driving the Australian Government’s Digital Vision: Government 3.0

The Australian Federal Government is on a bold mission to revolutionise their IT systems and deliver unparalleled service, speed, accuracy, and agility. Modern governments’ success hinges on achieving these advancements while also fortifying security postures and enhancing data governance. To create a government ecosystem that truly works for everyone, they need to turn data into insights - establishing seamless citizen experiences, driving operational efficiencies, and enabling responsible AI.

Are you ready to overcome the challenges facing our digital future? Then join us at the OpenText™ Federal Government Forum to meet visionary leaders from across government.

Attendees will hear from thought leaders and engage in dynamic discussions on groundbreaking topics, including:

  • AI and its transformative potential
  • The principles and practices of zero trust
  • Crafting a total citizen experience that drives a seamless government experience
  • Ensuring robust data security and management
  • Enhancing cybersecurity frameworks
  • Navigating IRAP and cloud innovations

The Hon. Victor Dominello will deliver the headline keynote! Register for the event to discover how governments can actively shape and secure the digital landscape of tomorrow, redefine the total citizen experience, and leverage the OpenText approach to prepare their agencies for current and future government needs.
