IT departments will face the challenge of pulling together the disparate systems, according to Dell Software MD Ian Hodge
Up to 36 Australian federal government agencies will be merged or scrapped as a result of the federal budget, meaning the remaining IT departments may not be across shared services and cyber security, according to Dell Software Australia managing director Ian Hodge.
“By merging federal agencies, the government is looking to achieve more with less,” he said in a statement.
“The consolidation of these agencies will require significant changes within their IT systems, presenting the IT department with the challenge of pulling together the disparate systems and establish shared services to provide back-end IT services to multiple [government] agencies.”
