Appendix 1: List of shared information and communications technology services

Infrastructure as a Service: Are the benefits being achieved?

The GCIO has promoted and facilitated the use of "as a service" models for ICT. Organisations can use most of the shared ICT products and services in any order – they do not need to use Infrastructure as a Service first. A description of each shared ICT service is on the GCIO's website, ict.govt.nz, in the products and services section.

The shared products and services that were available at 8 February 2018 were:

  1. Amazon Web Services Cloud Framework Agreement;
