GovNext aims to:
- Reduce the state’s cost of infrastructure through data consolidation or cloud migration;
- Enable the migration of the majority of government compute and storage
- Establish a whole-of-government unified network; with secure standardised connections to public cloud providers; and
- Enable extensive user self-provisioning capability
This initiative will affect the way IT is performed in every WA government department. The question, is "Are you GovNext ready". Take the opportunity with GovNext to strategically reduce cost and drive more value from your application portfolio.
As an independent organisation with experience in application portfolio migration to cloud or a consolidated data centre, Modis can provide unbiased guidance to support your agency’s requirements.
In early 2016, Modis assisted the Department of Corrective Services in becoming GovNext ready.
After a period of rigorous analysis, Modis assisted in producing a comprehensive GovNext transition roadmap for the agency. The roadmap included:
- A high level schedule of the tasks involved in the GovNext transition; including a list of prerequisites for consideration prior to the application transition;
- Potential applications that could be decommissioned or consolidated into other applications prior to the transition to GovNext to reduce cost;
- A defined set of applications that could be transformed into “software as a service” solutions prior to the transition to GovNext; and
- A sequence for the transition of applications to the GovNext service once the service was available.
This roadmap is a great asset in strategic planning for the lead up to GovNext services becoming available and will be invaluable in the execution of the transition to the GovNext services.
