Centrelink has received a largely positive report on its project management framework, but still has some work to do on systems' integration, according to a National Audit Office report.
Centrelink has acquired Agitar developer testing tools as it works to update its middleware platform, Centrelink Online.
Centrelink continues to allocate substantial amounts of capital to IT projects, with multinational technology giants as well as local companies grabbing a piece of the welfare agency's pie.
Centrelink is to begin a 16-month rollout of service management software that will eventually see staff help desk queries consolidated and automated under one system.
Some of the industry's biggest technology suppliers risk missing out on outsourcing contracts if they cannot lift their lagging service management standards, according to a group of IT managers.
The sheer size and breadth of Centrelink's operations has always meant project management there is a Herculean effort. Taking a new approach to its people and project scheduling has improved the situation dramatically -- but change hasn't been easy.
