Systems integrator ASG Group has announced that it has won AU$75 million in new services contracts over recent months, but its longstanding arrangement with the ACCC remains unresolved.
The outsourcing and services vendor announced yesterday that it was looking to fill as many as 100 new IT positions in Canberra as part of its support services contract with the Australian Department of Defence.
The Department of Defence has signed a AU$240 million, five-year contract with Unisys to provide support services such as network security, infrastructure support and server and desktop support.
SAP announced Monday its third-party support and maintenance company TomorrowNow, which is embroiled in a legal battle with archrival Oracle, may be put up for sale.
Technology services company Raw Capital Partners has been fined AU$33,000 by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission
Internode has no incentive to provide free access to its Wi-Fi networks for any reason at all, apart from genuine love, and maybe the joy of finding a new way to flip Telstra the bird.
The vision of the future BT portrayed this week at an Australian conference was so far removed from how Telstra's David Quilty has described the British telco that I wonder if they were talking about the same UK.
Labor's policy of socialised broadband has certainly proved much harder than the party believed it would be back when it was in Opposition, but it is Telstra that stands to lose the most from the NBN - and that applies whether it loses the NBN contract or wins it.
Sometimes, a well-placed and well-timed letter can make all the difference. Other times, it can make no difference at all and even hurt your case. This week's missive by the Competitive Carriers' Coalition, I would suggest, falls into the latter category.
Say what you will about Senator Stephen Conroy, but he is clearly not a man afraid of confrontation. Well, he'd better not be, because by killing off the OPEL WiMax project he has just set himself up for a battle with Telstra of Biblical proportions or a big meal of crow washed down with a $4.7 billion gift to SingTel Optus.
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has extended their outsourcing arrangement with troubled IT giant Electronic Data Systems (EDS).
Finetuning service-level agreements with third party service providers is extremely important. ZDNet Australia looks at some tips and hints to help you assess the options.
So you've done the math and decided there may be a good business case for Linux after all. Just make sure you don't dive into the world of open source without fastening the rope securely to the bridge.
While UK businesses worry that Linux lacks the technical support options to make it an enterprise player, Australian businesses believe the open source operating system already enjoys the robust support they need to put it to work.
Lack of knowledge, inflated prices and smelly tech support are among the complaints of SMEs in a new survey.
Need a new server but only have AU$2500 to spend? The range of options is surprisingly good as long as you're willing to do without some of the fancy features.
The desktop is dead, long live the thin client desktop. Following the trend of migrating applications into the datacentre, thin clients have become increasingly popular. We found HP's first mobile thin client to be a reliable system at a reasonable price.
Fonality's trixbox is an ISDN and traditional POTS-style telephony system based on the open source Asterisk software, and comes with dedicated hardware eliminating compatibility issues. We found trixbox to be competitively priced and easy to set up.
The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is the larger sibling of the i-mate 8502, and shares the honour of being Australia's first HSUPA phone. While we believe this phone is in the same league as a BlackBerry or the iPhone, be wary of Telstra's promised internet speeds.
ShoreTel's ShoreGear-120 is a VoIP system aimed primarily at medium- to large-sized businesses ranging from 50 users upwards and offers an impressive and versatile solution with the only major gripe being the big hit to capacity when using analog phones.
