Case Study: Australian Taxation Office accelerates digital transformation with Microsoft Visual Studio Online

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is meeting the digital revolution head-on

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) faced the challenge of modernizing its aging IT infrastructure and development tools to meet heightened citizen expectations for fast, high-quality digital services. To retain talent and increase agility for mobile app development, the ATO partnered with vendor Microsoft and utilized their Visual Studio Online and Azure cloud services to create a more streamlined work environment.

By implementing Microsoft's cloud-based tools, the ATO development team rapidly provisioned a new environment in days instead of months, enabling faster and more collaborative work regardless of geographical location. The solution from Microsoft resulted in increased developer productivity and morale, the successful launch of a multi-platform mobile app, and established the ATO as a leading federal department in cloud-based mobile development.
