NSW Government Selects Dataweave for SaaS Identity Management Project

Dataweave (www.dataweave.com.au), an IT consultancy which specialises in enterprise applications and Oracle Database solutions, has today announced that the NSW Government has selected Dataweave as a key implementation and support partner in the consortium deploying a new Identity Management solution.

The new Identity Management project will implement an Identity Hub with capability to effectively manage the end-to-end lifecycle of user identities across NSW Government shared resources, both within the firewall and beyond into the cloud. This is expected to allow the NSW Government to enhance service delivery, streamline Government work practices, and reduce costs.

The Identity Hub consortium comprises Dataweave, Qubit Consulting, Oracle  Australia and NTT Communications.

Norman Weaver, Managing Director for Dataweave commented, “Large organisations often face serious challenges when managing user access to IT systems and data. The NSW Government Identity Hub will make it possible to streamline the administration of user accounts and passwords, while creating a better user experience in an environment where a high level of security is assured.” 

Dataweave will provide consulting, project management, systems integration and ongoing 24 x 7 support services for the Identity Hub service. Qubit Consulting will assist with specialist identity management systems consulting and expertise.

The Identity Hub will be hosted within NSW Government’s new GovDC data centres located at Silverwater and Unanderra, on a new Infrastructure as a Service platform provided by NTT Communications, utilising Oracle hardware. The technology platform will be highly secure and ISO 27001 compliant.

The Identity Hub is intended to enable improved overall IT security across NSW Government, while providing a better user experience. This will be achieved through the use of a federated Identity Management framework delivered via a Software as a Service (SaaS) architecture. The Identity Hub will be based on Oracle Identity Management, Oracle Enterprise Data Quality, Oracle Advanced Security, Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall and Oracle Data Masking products. 

The solution is designed to extend seamlessly out into the public cloud, allowing businesses and citizens accessing government services to be incorporated into the solution.

The use of a fully managed SaaS deployment model allows greater scalability, removing the pain and complexity of disconnected user account administration and password management for NSW Government agencies.

Dataweave offers a range of 24 x 7 remotely managed support services for enterprise applications and database technologies, and has an extensive track record of successful project engagements with NSW Government agencies.
