Legacy technology, or outdated digital solutions, can be a challenge in any digital journey. With NSW at a turning point in its digital journey, Digital NSW are working on the NSW State of Legacy Report, which will help address these challenges for Government agencies. In late March, a workshop was held with CIO-level representatives from government agencies to answer some key questions that will inform the report. 🔗 Discover some of our insights from this workshop and next steps: https://lnkd.in/g996TDGx #DigitalTransformation #DigitalNSW

For the first time, CRN Australia and iTnews, which are read by decision makers in thousands of significant Australian organisations, will publish an index of Australian MSPs: https://lnkd.in/gdBhS_55 MSPs operating in Australia play a vital role managing business-critical IT, dealing with cybersecurity threats and helping millions of Australian organisations operate more productively and cost-effectively. These MSPs are a crucial part of Australia's IT industry and CRN Australia's audience, and work with decision makers that read iTnews. The CRN Australia MSP Index gives these MSPs an opportunity to: - Be listed in a directory of MSPs operating in Australia published by CRN Australia and our sister publication iTnews, publications read by many thousands of Australian IT and non-IT organisations - Provide data for a barometer of business maturity, opportunities and challenges in the Australian MSP landscape, to help their businesses, other MSPs and other IT providers, and others such as investors, business acquirers and MSP customers, better understand this landscape - Gain networking, information and thought leadership opportunities by being invited to MSP Index events in different states, and to other sponsored events relevant to MSPs. Eligible MSPs that apply to be listed in the MSP Index will be invited to the launch of the NSW Edition of the MSP Index in Sydney on 20th November 2024. MSPs throughout Australia can now apply to be listed in the MSP Index by completing the MSP Index survey: https://lnkd.in/gdBhS_55 #crnmspindex

Is your data ready to ensure the success of the implementation of your new system? As high as 70-80% of system implementations fail, and of this, it has been cited that as high as 30% of the data in the system once launched is incorrect. In the countless system implementations I have been part of, I always start with “how confident are you on the quality of the data going into the new system, and what is your data preparation plan?”. We are currently working with a client who is moving from outsourcing to insourcing various assets, and is looking for a system to manage the assets once insourced. The challenge they have is the data going into the system is manually constructed in Excel, and lacks governance to ensure it is correct, accurate and timely. If not addressed, this lack of data quality issues will hinder the system implementation, provide inaccurate reports and may also put the insourcing strategy at risk. Prior to any new system implementation, it is critical you ensure your data is secure and fit-for-purpose, and to ensure your processes are documented and optimised. Only then, will you be able to truly realise the envisioned ROI. In addition to data quality, it is also critical businesses understand what data is being captured, where the data is being held and how it is stored to ensure they are meeting regulatory requirements.
