govCMS released for all tiers of government
The whole of government web content management system govCMS has now gone live for all tiers of government.
Acquia has opened up the Drupal-based govCMS platform to general use for federal, state and local government agencies.
The Department of Finance selected Acquia to provide the govCMS platform in September. Government homepage Australia.gov.au and The Department of Social Services have already migrated their sites to the system.
Other early adopters include the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Agency and the Department of Communications.
Agencies using govCMS will be able to take advantage of a standard procurement model, as well as the platform’s compatibility with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
The release "opens a new era of open government focused on meeting the needs of Australians,” Acquia Director for APAC and Japan Chris Harrop said.
“Acquia has enabled the government to go to market faster with digital experiences that are highly interactive, crucial to supporting economic development and connect Australians with the services and data they need.”
The govCMS platform uses a Drupal distribution specifically customised for Australian government needs. The government aims to migrate between 182 and 437 government websites to the new system within four years
