Spotlight on Federal Government
It’s been a huge 12 months in digital and information technology for the Federal government, with a slew of root-and-branch reforms, major renewals and service delivery transformations flowing on from the election and its preceding Budget.
After years of edging towards a cohesive, joined-up digital government, it’s fair to say the rubber is now hitting the road across all major portfolios as agencies across welfare and social services, revenue, security and defence, infrastructure and environment all retool their tech shops.
For the last two decades, iTnews has been the go-to source for objective, informed and in-depth daily coverage of the federal technology sector, looking inside the big shifts, important deals and crucial projects that define how policy, services and national infrastructure are delivered.
We’ve also detailed how public sector leaders harness the digital imperative and what it takes to get execution and delivery humming and the challenges the public sector, wider community, industry and stakeholders face along the way.
This year, the Benchmark Awards 2020 received entries from federal agencies detailing such efforts and showcasing how Canberra is not just talking technology, but using it to deliver outcomes that matter for Australians.
