Greetings form the Australian Computer Society Canberra meeting, where Susan Monkley, Group Manager, Technology Solutions Group, Department of Education talked on "Merging IT in government (and de-merging)".
At the end of the talk Susan mentioned that the newly demerged Departments of Education and Employment will have a shared services centre to deliver services to both (not just ICT services). The ACT Government already has Shared Services for ICT, Human Resources and Finance as does the South Australian Government. However, as Susan pointed out when I asked about it, the temptation to expand this to agencies which have very different tasks should be avoided.
