NZ parliament tenders for ICT review
The Parliamentary Service in Wellington, New Zealand, is seeking a consultant to carry out a review of the ICT and information management functions for the Parliamentary Precinct, reports Reseller.co.nz.
The purpose of the review will be to develop a clear picture of the business needs of each agency for information and systems, and identify where duplication exists in the delivery and support of ICT and information management services to each agency.
The consultant will be expected to identify the current services and information shared between agencies and opportunities for further sharing and standardisation of software and hardware against the development of public sector ICT policies. It will also have to identify potential opportunities for improving delivery and security of services.
EC signs IT services contract
The European Commission is signing a four-year IT services supply contract with Fujitsu Services, says Computer Weekly.
The deal covers the supply of IT services, including the management of the help-desk, infrastructure management, user support, and management of the projects of the delegations of the European Commission (5 000 users and 134 delegations worldwide).
A series of additional services, such as architecture consulting, the management and design of the ICT infrastructure, and security audits are also included.
Creative ICT recruiters adjust their models
Mainstream business confidence may be low and food and fuel prices are certainly biting, but rather than causing a downturn in the recruitment market, tough times seem to be driving it, writes Computer World.
Richard Gladwell, director at ITEC Recruitment in New Zealand, says 70% of those in work continually look for better jobs and people increasingly realise the only way to get a big pay rise is often to move.
ICT management was the only broad group to have no occupations difficult to fill. Candle reports one CIO vacancy attracted 65 applicants. Other recruiters report a glut of project managers, a shortage in the mid-market and too many candidates for vacancies at senior level.
