As part of the review process Sir Peter Gershon is calling for input from individuals and organisations so as to identify best practice when it comes to ICT procurement in the Australian context.

AIIA welcomes Federal Budget, presses for stronger focus on business development

AIIA has expressed support for long term initiatives contained in the 2008 Federal Budget that will positively impact upon the ICT sector.

However, AIIA Chief Executive Officer, Ian Birks, said there was a lack of focus on business stimulus across the digital economy, particularly in the context of other key goals outlined in this Budget.

“The digital economy needs to be recognised for the economic contribution it makes in its own right. This is particularly important given ICT’s status as horizontal industry that will underpin many of the government’s aspirations across the wider economy – such as healthcare reform, the education revolution and emissions control,” Mr Birks said.

“Business stimulus across the ICT industry is very important. An innovative and thriving ICT sector will be essential to meeting the future challenges identified by the Rudd Government.”
