Almost 300 million worth of public sector IT projects have been binned in the UK, sparking accusations the government is embarking on the schemes without proper thought.
British efficiency expert Sir Peter Gershon has suggested agency budget cuts totalling $540 million, castigating the federal public sector for poor governance mechanisms on technology projects and an ICT spending model which gave individual departments and agencies too much autonomy.
Australian software company Objective today revealed it had acquired UK-based fellow content management developer Limehouse Software for at least $6.65 million.
The UK Office of Government Commerce has urged public-sector workers to turn off their PCs overnight to help cut carbon emissions and costs.
The Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO) has labelled a newspaper report "factually incorrect" that said it had moved to a strategy of centralised IT procurement before the findings of the Gershon review which will be released next month.
According to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner's 2007 annual report, Australian consumers should feel pretty safe but that's because it's full of crap.
The long-term net impact of Gershon's idealistic review will realistically be negligible at best and at worst will prove to be a distraction for years to come.
