The Department of Immigration and Citizenship is about to put major elements of its mammoth Systems for People technology overhaul behind it as it looks to its next release.
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship was at pains to stress the savings gained from the completion of its Systems for People IT project in the Federal Budget tonight.
A number of top-ranking federal government chief information officers have broadly declined to comment on any fallout for their departments from the news that the Federal Government will adopt Sir Peter Gershon's recommendations "in full".
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.
Everything from cleaning to IT development work is outsourced by governments these days, but should security clearance processes, which dictate what access a person has to government information systems, be included in that bundle?
The Information Technology Contract and Recruitment Association believes Australia needs to hire more foreigners to fill the shortage in ICT skills. But there's no solid evidence to back up its claim.
