Overview

1 Background

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is striving to become a more data-driven, client-centric organisation, using data and analytics to improve the administration of tax and superannuation systems. The ATO is collecting increasingly greater volumes of data from a wide variety of sources. To support and inform ATO business decisions, this data must be curated and discoverable, accessible, and usable.

The Data Acquisition Prefill and Sharing Program (DAPS) is a complex multi-year program aiming to:

• Establish a foundational technical solution for a new data acquisition pattern that is scaleable and extensible

• Migrate critical use-cases off the on-premise Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub (CDH6) to a new cloud hosted architecture

• Migrate and mature the ATOs Advanced Analytics Platform to a cloud platform

• Uplift data matching and sharing capabilities, and

• Acquire, ingest, and use new data.

This program will establish a grouping of capabilities that will provide curated business-ready data that will underpin ATO decision making, providing the basis for tailored client services and improved compliance activities.
