When we conceived the idea for an inaugural event which will bring together industry thought leaders and technology experts to discuss how to future-proof your business, we wanted to create that same feeling. While lots of conferences deliver great speakers alone, the marketing team at 麻豆原创 ANZ wanted to create a complete experience that not only gives attendees relevant information but leaves you inspired to act on your newfound knowledge.

will be brought to life on Tuesday 8^th August in Sydney. We scoured the city for venues and settled on the Hyatt Regency, for the very fact that it is not only a great space, but we can run the entire event on the same floor so everything is easily accessible and buzzy. We want to bring that vibe that we deliver in our global event 麻豆原创PHIRE in Orlando.

If the recent past has taught us one thing, it is that there are always unforeseeable changes in our industry and marketplace. Flexibility and agility have always been constants, but they now need to be coupled with resiliency.

At 麻豆原创 NOW 2023, we will delve into the strategies and actions required to successfully meet the demands of the present and the emerging future and future-proof your business. You鈥檒l have the opportunity to learn from industry leaders, technology experts, and innovative thinkers who will share their insights and strategies for navigating the digital landscape and driving success in the years to come. You’ll discover how to leverage cutting-edge technologies to unlock new opportunities, streamline processes, and enhance customer experiences.

Current relatable themes to spur new ideas

We will have three breakout tracks running and will feature 麻豆原创 experts and customers speaking across all these tracks, mostly in fireside chats or panel discussions.

The three breakout tracks are:

Home Care Packages are available for older Australians 鈥�with鈥� complex care needs but still want to live independently in their own homes, providing access to personal and clinical care鈥� services鈥�. Traditionally, aged care provider models have offered limited flexibility, choice, or control to home care participants. Existing models are also often associated with manual processes and high administration costs, reducing the amount of resource鈥�s鈥� and funding spent on actual support and services.听听

HomeMade implemented 麻豆原创 BTP, a process 鈥�that鈥� took 12 months, working with partner Bourne Digital to design, develop and deploy an intuitive, automated, self-service portal. Now 6 months on, the portal has boosted the efficiency of processes and workflow management and provided greater transparency in terms of service provision. HomeMade is also now able to offer more flexibility to participants looking to choose and access a variety of services and support, giving them more control over plans, budgets, and spending. This is demonstrated by a 9-day reduction in the time i鈥�t鈥� takes to onboard new participants and by a 50 per cent reduction in reimbursement processing time.听听

HomeMade鈥檚 new, automated portal also helps to reduce administrative overheads associated with Home Care Package management, with participants saving more than $5,000 annually on average in management fees.听

鈥淗omeMade鈥檚 vision is to transform home care in Australia, and we are continuously building our capabilities 鈥� whether that鈥檚 teams, processes, or technology. Leveraging 麻豆原创 BTP has allowed us to create a solution that better supports older Australians in need of care and given us an ex鈥�c鈥�iting and innovative platform that will help us grow鈥�, said Laura Westhorpe, General Manager, HomeMade.听听

鈥淏y implementing 麻豆原创 BTP HomeMade is able to offer faster and more transparent care options to older Australians and their families鈥�,鈥� while also reducing the money spent on admin fees so that more resource鈥�s鈥� can be put towards improving their quality of life. The work done together with HomeMade and Bourne Digital demonstrates how next-generation technology can have a powerful positive impact when it comes to improving people鈥檚 lives.鈥�听

鈥淚鈥檓 also proud of how our technology is supporting HomeMade to continue to grow and move close to achieving its vision of transforming home care in Australia,鈥� continued Damien Bueno, President and Managing Director, 麻豆原创 Australia and New Zealand.听听

鈥淏ourne Digital partnered with HomeMade to apply design thinking to build a scalable, secure and highly intuitive portal solution. 麻豆原创 BTP was a fantastic platform that was setup to accommodate one portal for multiple personas including: aged care recipients, HomeMade customer service and the service providers. It has been an amazing opportunity to partner with a forward-thinking organisation like HomeMade.,鈥� said Selim Ahmed, CEO & Founder, Bourne Digital.听听

That鈥檚 changing as agencies look to adopt more digital-first agendas. The NSW government is encouraging its agencies to adopt 鈥樚齭trategies by 2023, while an of seven government agencies in South Australia reported that most planned to increase their use of cloud services within the next two years.

This acceleration is partially due to a pivot from strict government 鈥榗ontrol-based鈥� regulatory regimes towards an assessment of actual data risk, with controls applied based on those findings. This new approach is reflected in policies such as the Australian Cyber Security Centre鈥檚 (ACSC) Cloud Security Guidance, Information Security Manual and Essential Eight.

Implementing a risk-based approach to cloud security assessments gives agencies more flexibility in managing their workloads and data, with less carte-blanche security strategies that have traditionally protected everything in the same way by default.

This trend has accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, as agencies faced huge challenges in managing the rapid expansion of remote workforces. The pandemic required agencies to adopt cloud solutions such as Office 365 effectively overnight, with other digital demands like e-commerce and digital booking services becoming imperative.

It gave agencies an immediate business case that couldn鈥檛 be ignored because existing on-premise and remote access systems weren鈥檛 designed for the rapid increase of remote workers, and maintenance was hampered by global supply shortages.

With many of these initial transformations complete, agencies have now realised the value, scale and efficiencies that cloud services bring, and are now looking at other ways to digitally transform services and speed up their cloud adoption.

A few significant challenges remain. While the compliance landscape has shifted towards risk management, the sheer number of regulatory considerations is still staggering. To combat this, agencies and regulated industries often err on the side of caution, with tendencies to over assess or classify the data they wish to store, manage or handle within a cloud solution. This leads to a risk-averse approach that leans away from cloud innovation.

That attitude isn鈥檛 going to cut it in this new world, where citizens are demanding innovative digital services from government that are on par with what they鈥檙e getting from the private sector. It鈥檚 important to change this thinking to spark further innovation within our public services and regulated industries. Here are two common mistakes that we see agencies making every day.
