Services Australia is to carry out a giant overhaul of its entire IT architecture over 10 years following a comprehensive review. The agency has mustered a nine-person taskforce - which includes CIDO Charles McHardie AM, Defence CIO Chris Crozier (GAICD) other agency executives and an undisclosed external advisor - to develop a 10-year ICT architecture strategy and plan by June 2025. A document, released just before Christmas under freedom of information and sighted by iTnews, shows that the year-long review of Services Australia's IT landscape and "long-term ICT architecture strategy" came out of an external review of the agency's "budget efficiency". #servicesaustralia #architecturereview #fedgov #canberra

What's the #1 priority for a complex cloud migration? In this blind-ranking video, Dan Corby of Bendigo Bank gives a clear and perhaps surprising answer!

This is exactly where solutions like #GoogleCloud VMware Engine come in — simplifying the journey and reducing risk, so you can focus on innovation, not just infrastructure 🙌 Hear from more experts in the keynote from #GoogleCloudSummit Sydney! ➡️ https://goo.gle/4gRc8PK

AI isn’t a hammer looking for a nail. It’s a tool that must be aligned with genuine business needs to unlock its full potential. In this powerful piece Mike Thomson, CPA our CEO dives deep into the evolving role of AI in enterprise strategy and why purpose must always precede implementation. Not the other way round. One standout example is Unisys’ Service Experience Accelerator, which blends agentic AI and generative AI to transform end user centered operations. From real-time multilingual translation to intelligent ticket resolution, it’s a compelling case of AI driving real business outcomes. #AI #DigitalTransformation #Unisys
