A lack of available Siebel skills on the part of its prime contractor IBM has prompted the Immigration Department to hand AU$6.7 million of work to rival vendor CSC.
A recent AU$25 million lifeline to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) last month saved its AU$496 million tech overhaul from tanking, according to DIAC CIO Bob Correll.
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) has revealed the latest round of upgrades to its AU$496 million Systems for People initiative will go live in April but analysts believe skills shortages may disrupt the project.
The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) and Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs (DIMA) have both extended existing contracts with CSC under deals that could eventually yield AU$112 million in new business for the outsourcing heavyweight.
The Immigration Department's ability to manage multiple vendors will prove critical to the success of its massive Systems for People technology revamp, according to IT consultancy Gartner.
