Accenture has all but sealed a AU$100 million contract with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) following changes to superannuation tax announced in the federal budget in May.
The Australian Taxation Office's (ATO) decision to forgo offshore software development in its Change Program was based on risk and working practices rather than cost or data security, according to second commissioner Greg Farr.
The Australian Tax Office is warning of lengthy disruptions to its Tax Agent and Business Portal during Easter 2008 as it implements the first phase of its AU$450 million, three-year long Change Program.
Government was once the great hope for open source but it will continue to diminish due to a lack of support according to the CIOs of Australia's largest government agencies.
Recently appointed Defence CIO Greg Farr will target Defence's "short of perfect" HR system as the first major tech overhaul he will head up.
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) may have opted against a recent proposal to offshore, but it still seems the writing is on the wall following May's federal budget.
In the second part of his interview, Defence CIO Greg Farr talks about outsourcing, the skills crisis and reveals his most urgent IT priority.
