Cenitex provides support and technology solutions to Victoria’s public sector departments and delivers essential ICT services such as identity and network management, security and cloud services.
Cenitex says it accelerates the time to value for Victorian public sector departments and agencies implementing new technology - and if a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) exists between a government entity and Cenitex, Cenitex reports that the technology can be deployed as quickly as 24 hours later.
Snowflake’s built-in AI capabilities can be assessed and leveraged if and when a department or agency is ready to implement AI solutions. These capabilities include Snowflake Cortex AI,, its enterprise large language model (LLM), and Streamlit in Snowflake, which can allow users to create their own AI or data applications.
“This speed of deployment will enable participating Victorian State Government entities to consolidate and enhance their data strategies while also enabling greater security and easier cross-department data sharing,” said Cenitex CIO Scott Tivendale.
“Snowflake is cloud-agnostic, which makes it ideal for data strategies across Government entities, regardless of whether they’re using AWS, Azure or legacy infrastructure to store data. This will also make data sharing much easier for those departments or agencies that wish to share critical data, regardless of where it’s housed,” Tivendale said.
“Snowflake’s security, privacy, data governance, and cloud-agnostic capabilities were all considered as strengths for the platform, helping promote data sovereignty for agencies and departments,” Tivendale continued.
“The public sector is constantly looking to deliver better digital services, but doing so requires clean, well-governed, secured, and accessible data,” said Theo Hourmouzis, Vice President for Australia and New Zealand, Snowflake. “There is no digital strategy – whether its transformation, modernisation, or even AI – without a data strategy. With Snowflake being added to the Cenitex catalogue, departments and agencies can continue to drive innovation and aim to unlock the full potential of their data faster than ever before."
