STANDARDS AUSTRALIA COMMENCES DIGITAL
TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM
Standards Australia has approved a digital transformation
strategy which lays the core foundations of the digital
standards body needed to support growth in Australia’s
future.
“Our goal in this work has been to ensure the viability,
strength and capacity of Standards Australia as a
contributor to Australia’s economic future,” said Dr Evans,
CEO of Standards Australia.
The plan will see Standards Australia establish a
digital repository built on a platform that is best of class
technology.
In the first phase, Standards Australia will see benefits
realised in:
∫ Establishing a central and searchable content
repository;
∫ Streamlining multiple workflows; and
∫ Connecting content development to digital curation and
flexibility of outputs.
“By leveraging our international relationships, member
insights, and by looking outside of the standards
publishing world, we have a plan that will set us up to be
the digital standards body Australia
needs tomorrow,” said Dr
Evans
Further stages will see
Standards Australia with
the capacity to move to
different collaboration
and distribution
models.
Standards Australia
will be consulting
with stakeholders
through this process
to maximise the
benefits from both
development and
user perspectives.
