“Executives across the ICT sector are spoilt with newsletters and a constant volume of information. Half the battle is choosing the publications that provide the right information at the right time. This is where AIIA’s Bulletin fits in. I read The bulletin because it is written from within the association about the ICT industry, often picking up key items from behind the news.”

Following through on our liability policy win
In August, following sustained pressure from AIIA, the Australian Government agreed to limit suppliers’ liability when selling ICT goods and services to government. This significant win for industry will provide greater opportunities for companies to bid and gain that all-important first government customer.
The change in policy followed the 2004 release of Better Practice, Better Outcomes, AIIA’s report into the effect of government liability policies coupled with a strategic lobbying campaign. The report argued that limiting liability would result in cost savings, improved project management and better project outcomes.
Following the launch of the new liability policy, AIIA’s focus is now to ensure that the policy is well known, understood and implemented in practice.
