Service NSW: Improving the customer experience and worker productivity
Overview
Service NSW helps residents of New South Wales, Australia connect with government services through customer-service kiosks in 130 locations—but the old kiosks’ operating system lacked remote service features and required time-consuming hard drive repairs. By using Chrome devices for kiosks, Service NSW significantly reduced management, increased security and with the deployment of Chrome devices to workers with Google Workspace, helped its employees save time and work more flexibly.

Service NSW streamlined IT management and reduced reliance on hardware by choosing Chromebases running ChromeOS for its self-service kiosks. Once the agency saw the cost and time savings of the new devices, it added Chromebooks and Google Workspace for all employees, giving workers the flexibility, security, and reliability benefits of working in the cloud.
ChromeOS has become our digital platform of choice at Service NSW. What started as a journey to make our customer experience faster and easier became a solution that made our employee experience faster and easier as well.
