A parent applying for support. A student accessing learning resources. A business lodging compliance documents. In every corner of public life, people expect services that are simple, fast, and integrated rather than disconnected and frustrating.
Technology isn’t just an enabler. It’s the backbone of trust, transparency, and efficiency in public services.
Yet behind the scenes, today’s government departments and agencies face a harder reality. Digital transformation in central government is all about navigating complexity, delivering change under scrutiny, and building platforms that serve today’s needs while enabling tomorrow’s opportunities.
But how do you achieve that in practical terms? How can you (successfully) overcome the inherent complexity of your old systems? And what does it have to do with Fusion5 and our evolution into a transformation partner?
That’s a fair question.
Why Fusion5 is evolving - and what it means for the public sector
We are evolving Fusion5 into a full-service transformation partner to help government digital leaders move faster – with less risk – towards their intended outcomes.

- Flexibility and responsiveness: We combine the scale of a global player with the agility of a local partner.
- A long-term perspective: We stay with our clients through leadership shifts, policy changes, and evolving technologies. Because real transformation takes time and real partnerships deliver the best results.
How can you deliver smarter public services through integrated technology?
The challenge is to make services work smarter, not harder. An integrated approach to technology makes it possible. When systems, platforms, and data work together, departments and agencies can:
- Streamline services across departments and functions
- Improve the accessibility and consistency of citizen experiences
- Unlock better insights to drive evidence-based policy
- Deliver value faster, while maintaining compliance and assurance
- Build future-ready platforms
Searching for a simpler path
Digital transformation doesn’t start with a blank slate, and that’s especially true of the public sector. Technical debt runs deep – and wide. Collaboration between departments, agencies and services is critical but complicated. All progress must be made under financial, political, and operational scrutiny. And there’s always a chance policies and priorities shift with little warning.
That’s just the environment you have to work in. And why many digital leaders in the public sector are seeking more than just solutions. They want the confidence that comes from the advice, expertise and support of a partner with end-to-end expertise in stitching technologies together to get immediate value and platforms for future innovation.
Which is where we come in.
Transforming public services together
We understand the pressures you’re under - because our people have been there and done it too. We’ve walked alongside agencies navigating what seemed, at the time, to be insurmountable challenges.
At Fusion5, we help the government realise better outcomes by delivering cohesive digital transformation that creates a platform for continuous improvement.
Take Creative New Zealand, for example. Fusion5 helped the organisation modernise and streamline its complex grants management processes, replacing manual, paper-based workflows with a flexible, integrated platform. The result: easier access for applicants, faster internal processing, better reporting, and a more connected experience across the organisation.
