Victoria’s Environment Protection Authority in IoT push – CIO
EPA CIO Chris Moon: New systems being built natively in the cloud and integrate to support forthcoming IoT rollouts across the state
Victoria’s Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has an IT overhaul underway that is seeing the department create a new data exchange to analyse information from potentially thousands of IoT devices in the field.
The overhaul is part of a $182.4 million investment from the Victorian government to transform the environmental regulator’s operations. It followed an independent inquiry into the EPA’s roles and powers when it comes to preventing and reducing harm from pollution and waste.
