Second Commissioner of Taxation David Butler today said that the increased $879 million budget for the Australian Taxation Office's Change Program quoted in an audit report released yesterday was a worst-case scenario.
The Australian Taxation Office has decided to extend its contracts with EDS for end computing and centralised computing services over a further two years.
The Australian Taxation Office has chosen Optus over Dimension Data for its managed network services contract, which the agency has said is worth around $60.5 million a year.
Department of Defence CIO Greg Farr has nabbed a senior official and former colleague from the Australian Taxation Office to help fill out his new team.
The Australian Taxation Office has pushed back the completion date for its $724 million IT Change Program by 18 months in order to comply with new government requirements and allow more bedding down time for major updates.
Considering the circumstances the Australian Taxation Office's (ATO) Change Program has been operating in over the last few years, it really hasn't been going too badly.
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) may have opted against a recent proposal to offshore, but it still seems the writing is on the wall following May's federal budget.
The ATO's decision not to offshore software development is a much-needed reminder that despite the technical wizardry of remote/teleworking and the costs benefits of India, simple face-to-face communication can never be bettered.
The Australian Taxation's Change Program (which is best suited perhaps for simple formulaic tax collections, not complex audit, analysis and interpretation work) may collapse under its own dead weight.
A year from taking on perhaps the toughest IT job in the country, Defence chief information officer Greg Farr is staring down the barrel of a massive ICT reform agenda for 2009 that will reveal whether Defence got the "expert CIO" they needed.
The Australian Taxation Office has ruled out any short-term changes to its deployment of a Siebel platform following news this week Oracle was moving to acquire the customer relationship management vendor in a deal worth AU$7.6 billion.
