GOVERNMENT

Scale AI in government with trust and control

Arinco helps government agencies and public sector organisations across Australia and New Zealand use Microsoft AI to improve public services, strengthen decisions, increase workforce capacity and operate more efficiently.

We connect responsible AI governance with secure cloud platforms, trusted data, modern applications, workplace tools and security so agencies can move from experimentation into practical, scalable use.

Turn AI momentum into better public outcomes

Government agencies are being asked to improve services and respond to changing community needs while managing constrained resources, regulatory obligations, cyber risk and public expectations. Legacy systems, disconnected data and manual processes can make services harder to access and limit how quickly agencies can respond.

AI can improve service delivery, policy development, information access and workforce productivity. Scaling it responsibly requires secure platforms, governed data, clear accountability, human oversight and practical adoption support.

How AI can create value in government

Trusted to modernise government securely

Hear how Arinco works alongside government teams across ANZ to strengthen their Microsoft foundations, improve access to information and introduce AI-enabled services with security, governance and public trust built in.

Where government agencies are applying AI

The right opportunities depend on each agency’s purpose, communities, information holdings, operating environment and risk profile. Common use cases across local, state, federal and New Zealand government include:

Public services and digital access

Help people find information, understand requirements and complete common requests through accessible digital services, copilots and AI-enabled applications, with clear pathways to human support.

Help employees draft, review, summarise and retrieve information from policies, submissions, guidance and organisational knowledge while retaining human accountability for final decisions.

Classify, search and review large volumes of information to support regulatory processes, statutory information requests and records management with greater speed and consistency.

Connect operational, financial, workforce and community data to support forecasting, program evaluation, policy development and evidence-based allocation of public resources.

Use Microsoft 365 Copilot, agents and automated workflows to reduce manual administration, improve collaboration and give public sector employees more time for higher-value work.

Use connected data, analytics and AI to identify unusual activity, support investigations and help agencies direct attention towards emerging financial, operational and compliance risks.

Transforming enterprise knowledge for New Zealand government agencies

New Zealand Treasury and its Corporate and Shared Services team worked with Arinco to improve how data and organisational knowledge were managed and accessed across partner agencies. Together, the teams developed Paerata, a secure generative AI capability supporting policy drafting, document quality and access to internal guidance. A Microsoft Fabric data platform also brought together structured information from multiple sources to support consistent analytics and future AI use cases.

Frequently asked questions

How can AI be used in government?

Government agencies can use AI to improve access to public services, process documents, support policy development, automate internal workflows, analyse data and help employees find organisational information. Use cases should be prioritised according to public value, feasibility, information sensitivity, risk and the need for human oversight.

Responsible AI adoption requires clear accountability, trusted data, strong identity and access controls, secure platforms, risk assessment and human oversight. Agencies also need processes for approving use cases, monitoring performance, managing information access and reviewing how AI-generated outputs inform decisions.

Scaling AI typically requires secure cloud platforms, governed data, connected applications, identity and cybersecurity controls, monitoring and clear operational ownership. Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Fabric, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Power Platform and Microsoft security technologies can support different parts of this environment.
