2014/15 Queensland Briefing: Making the Budget Count for ICT

Details

Keynote Speakers and Panellists

• Andrew Mills, Chief Information Officer, Queensland Government
• Chris Turnbull, Chief Information Officer, Queensland Treasury and Trade
• Judy Hurditch, Principal Analyst, Intermedium

After three consecutive years of reduced funding, the 2014/15 Budget will critically impact the Queensland Government ICT market. Achieving ‘effective digital services’ and a ‘transformed and capable workforce’ will require innovation on both technological and financial levels in the coming year.

Queensland’s austere budget isn’t necessarily reflected in the State’s ICT vision, which suggests much is in store. GoDigitalQld provides a three year plan to radically revamp Queensland into Australia’s most digitally interactive State and a global digital innovation hub, with addressable opportunities related to the implementation of ICT-as-a-service and its One-Stop Shop initiative likely to emerge before the end of 2014.

For ICT suppliers and agency representatives alike, understanding the full detail of the Budget, where small allocations have been widely dispersed, is imperative to forward planning. With a special focus in Queensland on outsourcing, mobility and all things cloud, this breakfast briefing will:

• Outline the key content, implications and opportunities relevant to the ICT market in the 2014/15 Queensland Budget
• Feature a panel with Queensland Government CIO Andrew Mills and CIO of Queensland Treasury and Trade Chris Turnbull, addressing hot topics and challenges facing the region
• Provide relationship development opportunities between public servants and ICT industry leaders in a trusted, non-sales environment

This value-packed event will foster future cooperation and effective engagement between ICT suppliers and the Queensland Government:

• Intermedium will provide detailed market analysis and insight appropriate for both industry and agency representatives
• Speakers will respond to questions supplied by AIIA members, matching attendee’s chief areas of interest
• Attendees will receive a post-event Summary & Planning Guide, to support collaboration and co-ordinated sales effort

Join us for this crucial opportunity to make the new Budget count for your organisation. Breakfast with your peers, network with your business partners, and prepare for success in 2014/15.
