EDITOR'S NOTE

Good afternoon,

The transparency of decision-making in government returns to centre-stage this week, with a case study on how four SMEs were locked out of the federal market.

An iTnews investigation reveals a decade-long pattern of killing commercial off-the-shelf systems for parliamentary workflow, and many in the industry question whether the Government's latest plan can deliver value for money.

Also today, we dig through the changes between AGIMO's draft and final cloud strategy papers. It appears the Government has taken a more nuanced approach to advocating cloud use.

-- John Hilvert
