We worked with a department in the Government of Australia that was running on a Protected Network. They were keen to understand how to leverage modern BI capabilities but within the confines of the security restrictions, they had to adhere to.

Our services delivered a strategy, roadmap, and architecture that described to the department how to effectively utilise existing resources and also leverage new technology platforms while balancing security concerns.
