Making the Budget Count for ICT: Insight into the 2015-16 Federal Budget

Details

After four consecutive years of reduced funding in the drive to return to surplus, the 2015/16 Federal Budget will have a critical impact on the ICT market. A total of $255 million has been allocated to the Federal Government’s digital transformation agenda in the 2015-16 Federal Budget, in addition to significant ICT specific funding for major initiatives in the Immigration and Border Protection, Health, Treasury, and Social Services portfolios.

For ICT suppliers and agency representatives alike, understanding the full detail of the new Budget will be imperative for strategic positioning. This briefing will:

• Outline the ICT content, implications and key opportunities of the 2015/16 Federal Budget
• Feature senior government representatives, addressing hot topics and challenges; and
• Provide networking opportunities between public servants and ICT industry leaders.

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

• Intermedium will provide detailed market analysis and insight relevant to both industry and agency representatives; and
• Panellists will provide insight into current Government thinking.

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 2015-16 and beyond.

Lead panellists

• Peter Alexander, CIO, Federal Treasury
• Gary Davis, Executive Director, ICT Shared Services, ACT Government
  • Gary Davis is the Executive Director for Shared Services ICT (SSICT). SSICT is the WhoG service provider and partner for ACT Government for ICT services and project delivery.
    Gary has a passion for the practical, and a knack for translating between “tech” and “exec”; managing complexity and maximising outcomes.
    His broad experience base – ranging from an early career supporting military communications, through to supporting IT systems in multiple government agencies, managing IT-enabled projects, and WhoG policy development (via the high-profile Gershon Review) – enables Gary to bridge the divide between ICT and business to deliver service transformation and positive organisational change.
