The report uncovered that a full 90% of respondents are currently working on HR transformation, up from 75% in 2006. Additionally, 64% of respondents said they intend to expand the scope of their HR transformation in the coming years.

Victoria Police's technology unit, under investigation for fraud and carrying a $90 million (R952.6 million) black hole in its accounts, has begun a multi-million-dollar HR and payroll systems overhaul, reports Australian IT.

The project, understood to be worth about $10 million (R105.9 million), will involve enterprise software vendor SAP designing and installing a new HR management system. Software testing will be performed by Melbourne-based Revolution IT.
