Making the Budget Count for ICT Insight into the 2015-16 SA Budget

Details

The Budget is also an important milestone for the state’s ICT market as it signals the Government’s intention to overhaul critical legacy systems and deliver efficiency gains across government. A host of initiatives are set to transform the ICT capabilities underpinning the justice system for example, with the Courts Administration Authority and Police set to benefit from a combined spend of more than $35 million.

With several large projects in the pipeline, understanding the financial aspects and forward planning will be crucial for the ICT Industry and agency representatives alike.

Treasurer Koutsantonis’s presentation will identify and address some of the priorities and challenges facing the South Australian Government from a digital, ICT and innovation perspective.

Senior Government Representatives will respond to a facilitated Q&A Panel Session providing key insights into budget priorities and business and ICT procurement plans and:

• Provide insight into the challenges departments are facing with Digital Transformation; and
• Discuss the requirements for outcome based procurement and the importance of focusing on outcomes, not technology.

Intermedium will provide market analysis and insight appropriate for both industry and agency representatives.

Join us for this one-off opportunity to understand how the new Budget will impact your organisation.
