EDITOR'S NOTE

Good afternoon,

The Victorian Government has halted the transfer of remaining IT services to whole-of-government provider CenITex, pending a review of its operations by the State Services Authority.

Meanwhile, engineers and technology professionals at ACMA are on strike as unions push for a 10.5 percent pay increase over three years.

Sorry we didn't send this bulletin on Wednesday as usual; we shuffled our topic newsletters around for the launch of our 44-page cloud integration report, 'Which Clouds Play Nice'. We'll return you to your regular programming and editor, John Hilvert, next week.

-- Liz Tay
