Become a modern regulator
“We’ve implemented governance across the whole gamut from an architectural perspective. We’ve found that’s been mission critical, otherwise we’d have no direction…”
- Jason Foster, CIO
Business Problems
- Technology Governance: The absence of governance structures fueled a steady growth of shadow IT, disparate solutions, and inconsistent processes.
- Visibility & decision-making: Critical data was trapped in disconnected legacy systems, spreadsheets, and data silos.
- Competitiveness: Maintaining the state’s global mining investment attractiveness was at risk due to slow, manual, and paper-based regulatory processes.
- Service delivery complexity: A diverse stakeholder landscape couldn’t seamlessly access services and data – including global mining giants, small contractors, and the public.
S4G Solutions
- Technology Blueprint: Created an anchor point for all future technology initiatives by delivering a blueprint for unified and scalable cloud-based platforms.
- Investment security: Delivered a successful value proposition to the State Government that secured funding to build technology platforms articulated in the S4G Blueprint.
- Governance alignment: Established a Design Authority, Digital Transformation Office, and Change Advisory Board to ensure technology decisions aligned with strategic goals throughout implementation.
Value Generated
