Australia’s Path to Digital Government: Unlocking Productivity with Cloud and AI
Australia stands at a critical juncture in its digital transformation as global competitors race ahead in AI adoption. A Mandala report reveals the country could unlock $1.4 billion in annual savings—$13.5 billion over a decade—by modernizing government IT infrastructure through cloud technologies.
Currently, just 10% of public sector IT budgets flow to cloud solutions. "Retiring legacy systems WOULD dramatically improve service delivery while reallocating human capital to value-added tasks," says Mandala Partner Tom McMahon. The non-market sector—spanning healthcare, education, and administration—represents the prime beneficiary of this productivity dividend.
