Data Analytics
Data Analytics is about solving problems with Data. The spread of the COVID 19 virus through geographical areas is just one example of data analysis driving decisions during an emergency.
Automation
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a technology that allows volunteer organisations to automate repetitive, manual tasks through the use of software robots. The software bots can interact with digital systems, such as software applications, in the same way that a human would, freeing up time for people on the ground to focus on higher value work.
Cyber Security
A cyber volunteer is a person who uses their technology or cybersecurity skills to support a cause or organisation. They may assist with tasks such as digital security, data privacy, or IT support.
Software Development
Software development spans coding fundamentals to creating a website. The recent rapid development of COVID 19 apps, websites and QR codes was made possible by an army of software developers.
Systems Administration
Sysadmins are responsible for the upkeep, configuration and operation of computers and networks. Keeping networks functional is a key task to ensure national resilience across a range of Australian government departments.
Project Management
Digital project management helps volunteer organisations in a crisis by streamlining communication and collaboration, increasing efficiency, and reducing errors. By using digital tools and processes, volunteer coordinators can quickly allocate resources, track progress, and ensure that tasks are completed on time. Digital project management also enables remote volunteer coordination and collaboration, allowing organisations to respond to a crisis more quickly and effectively.
