AAPT has decided to use Google Apps for its 1300 staff after deliberations it called more philosophical than technical.
Victorian shared services provider CenITex has gone to market for a new chief operating officer to fill Thana Velummylum's former role.
National internet service provider Internode has promoted internal staff Liz Cornelissen to be its first chief operations officer, ending a small string of senior management appointments.
CenITex chief operating officer Thana Velummylum had previously held a contract worth $215,620 for five and a half months' work with the Victorian IT shared services agency, government contract documents have revealed.
Victoria's opposition has slammed state government IT shared services agency CenITex for hiring contractors to lead its operations at rates that likely made them the highest paid government workers in the state.
I wasn't surprised when I heard about the uproar up in Queensland over a proposed government model for hiring contractors.

What's next for AAPT? Australia's number three telco refused to join Twisted Wire this week, so we decided to cover them anyway, guerrilla-style.
Will we see mass adoption of VoIP calling on our mobile phones? Does VoIP over 3G provide the quality of voice call that we've grown to expect? Can we expect the mobile carriers to fight its adoption and control access on their networks?

Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo's successor will need to make conciliatory gestures towards the government and reconsider the company's strategy to remain relevant, analysts have concluded in the wake of this morning's announcement that Trujillo will depart the company on June 30.
Let's get serious in the search for a new Telstra CEO. It's time to put Mario, Dr Claw, Sydney Lawrence and George Bush on the list.
Canberra apparently has two plagues: kangaroos and IT contractors. After years fattening up on Canberra's fields, they've been marked by the government for a major cull. But is the latter group still the problem they once were?
IT is largely about solving problems and keeping the business running, and the higher up you are in the IT department the bigger the problems you have to solve.
Mozilla Corp., the for-profit subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation, has promoted chief operating officer John Lilly to chief executive, the organisation behind the Firefox Web browser and Thunderbird e-mail software said.
There's a lot to like about the N86 8MP, but it's hard to fall in love with it too. While it's well made with good features, it looks and feels like a phone from several years ago.
The ROKR E8 looks to be Motorola's stab at the iPhone killer, with a morphing touchscreen display and media focused features.
The touchscreen interface and sexier design will be enough to make knees tremble, however, the Viewty's 5-megapixel camera falls short of our expectations.
We find out just what Sony's upcoming handheld is capable of.
