DEWC Services boosts cloud capabilities for Defence

DEWC Services, a leader in C4ISREW capabilities, is developing the next generation of cloud-native specialists to enhance the Australian Defence Force’s (ADF) use of innovative cloud technology.

As military operations become increasingly data-driven, timely access to information and applications is critical for the ADF. Cloud computing provides the scale to manage large volumes of data while enabling greater collaboration between Defence and its strategic partners.

DEWC Services has been working closely with key Defence stakeholders to develop cloud-native software and unlock the benefits of cloud technology.

DEWC Services Chief Information Officer, Troy Boswell, said cloud services will enhance work involving artificial intelligence (AI), modern software architectures and cybersecurity.

“For Defence to realise AI at enterprise scale, it must leverage cloud technology,” Mr Boswell said. “The cloud offers secure, elastic and scalable resources to exceed Defence’s needs now and into the future.”

“To support advanced technologies such as AI, it is unsustainable for Defence to manage all the increasing infrastructure requirements. By leveraging the cloud, industry can provide the best available platforms, and Defence can focus on delivering capability.”

DEWC Services boasts a multi-disciplinary team, ranging from graduates to experienced professionals with expertise across the entire spectrum of cyber capability, including software engineering, computer science, machine learning and cyber security.

Building a cloud-ready workforce is crucial for the company, which is training its next generation of cyber experts with cloud computing skills through its Graduate Development Program. The program provides on-the-job training and mentorship, with graduates working closely with some of the country’s most experienced engineers, scientists and technicians.

With an increasing demand for cloud-native experts to help the ADF leverage cloud platforms, DEWC Services CEO Allan Dundas said the company was committed to building the next-generation workforce to support Defence.

“These initiatives showcase DEWC Services’ ability to generate ideas, create value and improve processes, actively driving innovation within the Defence industry,” Mr Dundas said.

“Collectively, DEWC Services have significantly solidified our role as a key player in advancing Australia’s Defence strategic objectives.”
