The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA) have both recently signed on new vendors to take over their formerly Commander-led managed services contracts.
Western Australian ASX-listed IT services firm ASG today confirmed it had won the Federal Government Civil Aviation Safety Authority's managed services deal over incumbent Darwin-based supplier CSG.
The Group 8 cluster of federal agencies that signed a collective IT outsourcing arrangement with Commander-owned Volante in 2000 are moving on as the contract nears its end on 26 June.
Just weeks before the Gershon review of the government's $6 billion IT spending was delivered, the Department of Defence has quietly inked a massive five-year deal with IBM worth $268 million.
Sir Peter Gershon will return to Canberra next week as the British efficiency guru gears up to deliver a landmark report to finance and deregulation minister Lindsay Tanner on how the federal public sector could better spend its annual $6 billion IT budget.
