ANTENNA Evolution
ANTENNA was launched in partnership with the Prime Minister’s Office in 2016 and grew quickly to deliver services to over 40 departments supporting 40,000 users. During the pandemic ANTENNA pivoted to enable these users to work securely from home and subsequently evolved to support the new hybrid ways of working.
Inspired by the acceleration of innovative digital services that were delivered during the pandemic and in response to the need to support a diverse, distributed workforce as well as a citizenship with increased digital expectations we’re excited to launch the next generation of ANTENNA services.
