Charted: Australian government ICT spend
By GovInsider
Where is the most money spent?
The Australian Government spent a total of $5.6 billion on services and staff for technologies in 2014-2015, according to a new report released today.
GovInsider looks at where where this money was spent. The government’s expenditure on technology last year was 6.8% higher than the previous year’s $5.3 billion spend. The largest part of this - 37% - was spent on data processing software.
The next biggest portion of the bill - 11% - was for “end user infrastructure” which includes software and hardware for employees.
The data also shows that more agencies now have larger ICT spending. 90% of Australian agencies spent more than $42 million on technology, compared to 85% last year. There are now fewer agencies (4% less) with “medium” ICT spending between $15 million and $42 million.
