The Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) has created GovCloud to provide leading cloud based solutions and services to assist local governments, agencies and utilities achieve their strategic, operational and financial objectives.

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services through the Internet. Councils now have options as how they invest to service customers and run their IT. The traditional purchasing of physical products, is being replaced by business models where governments or agencies share the cost of common resources. This means that a Council no longer has to buy, manage and maintain expensive hardware and software and can access scalable capacity as required.

We deliver information technology infrastructure and applications “as a service” to Councils. For most Councils, this will result in reduced costs because individual members will no longer pay for items where the cost can be shared.
