Queensland has appointed an interim chief technology officer and confirmed the appointment of a temporary chief information officer as part of sweeping changes to the way the state's internal IT systems are governed.
State-owned ICT services vendor Citec will shortly bring in external consultants to develop a new business model as the Queensland-based group reins back services to the private sector in favour of government work.
The Queensland state government has started looking for a high-level technology chieftain to lead its whole of government Technology Transformation Program.
The Queensland government intends to beef up the powers of its state chief information officer role, to ensure the candidate has enough power to effectively deal with individual departments and agencies.
Queensland interim state government CIO Peter Grant and CTO Bob Gurnett tell ZDNet Australia they're making progress on statewide ICT reforms announced last year.
