The National Offshore Petroleum Safety Authority has gone to market for IT infrastructure support services over the next five years.
Local bank Bankwest has sold back to Unisys the 49 per cent stake it held in Unisys West, a Perth-based IT outsourcing company jointly owned by the pair.
Unisys West, the Unisys-controlled IT outsourcing joint venture with BankWest, hangs on to its old customer by a thread as the two work towards a final date for complete separation.
Bankwest's existing technology platform would continue to underpin its operations until the Commonwealth Bank has fully moved across to its new core banking system in 2011, the bigger bank revealed today as it detailed its takeover plans.
Australian businesses need to make IT leaders part of the executive team to drive business strategy, according to one leading CIO.
