SPEECHTOAUSTRALIANINFORMATIONINDUSTRYASSOCIATION（NSW

THEHON.JOHNFAHEY,MPMINISTERFORFINANCEANDADMINISTRATION

BRADLEYSHEAD,SYDNEY

IwelcomethischancetospeaktoyoutodayabouttheGovernment’sIToutsourcinginitiative.

ItisanareaofimmenseimportancetoyoufromtheITindustry,andtotheFederalGovernment–important,becauseithasthepotentialtosavemoneyfortaxpayersatthesametimeasdeliveringgreatbenefitstoourgrowingITindustry.Benefitslikeinvestmentandregionaljobs.

Inotherwords,itpresentsanopportunityforeachofustomutuallybenefit.

AsIwillpointout,thatmutualopportunityisstronglyreflectedintheGovernment’spolicyonIToutsourcing–apolicyIcharacteriseasunashamedlyinterventionist.

Somecriticsofourpolicyhavecalledit‘rationalist’.Theyarguethat,farfrombenefitingthelocalITindustry,ouroutsourcingpolicydamagestheindustry.

Othersclaimthatitcoststoomuch.Theymisrepresentthecostoftheprocess,oftensimplifyingthefactstosupportglibassertionswithoutfoundation.

TodayIwanttotacklethoseargumentsheadon.

Ispecificallywanttoaddresstheindustrydevelopmentframeworkandopportunitiesthataresuchanactiveandimportantpartofthisinitiative.Thereareopportunities–theresultshaveshownthat.

Iwouldliketoaddressthisframework,itsresults,aswellasthefutureopportunitiesinupcominglargegroupsandthroughtheSmallAgencyProgram.

Iwillstartbyexplainingtherationaleforourpolicy,thenlookattheopportunitiesitpresents.Finally,Iwillfastforwardtopreviewfutureopportunitiesavailabletoenterprisessuchasthoseyourepresenttoday.

Rationale

Thereisaverysoundbasisforthegeneralgovernmentpolicyofoutsourcing–abasisfoundedingoodbusinesssense.

TheCoalitiontooktothe1996electionapolicyofoutsourcingthosegovernmentfunctionsthatcouldmoreefficientlyandeffectivelybeconductedbytheprivatesector–functionsthatcouldbebetterperformedbyanyofthethousandsofcompanieslistedintheYellowPages.

UponcomingtoGovernment,wediscoveredinefficienciesbeyondourexpectations.TheGovernment,forinstance,usedtorunaninteriordecoratingservice–somethinggovernmentsdon’tneedtodo.

TheprovisionofITtogovernmentisnotasstarkanexample,butitdoesfallintothesamecategory–somethingthatcanbedonebetteroutsidegovernment.

Insimpleterms,ourpolicyisaboutsavingmoneyfortaxpayers,butalsoaboutusingtheFederalGovernment’ssheersizeasavehicletogrowthelocalindustry–andcreatejobs,investmentandexportsontheway.

Yes,itiseconomicallyresponsible.ItisalsodesignedtobenefittheAustralianITindustry.

Benefits

OneofmycriticsistheOpposition’sspokespersononinformationtechnology,andIamawarethatafortnightagosheaddressedthisAssociationdowninCanberra.

ButLabor’slineisschizophrenic.

Ontheonehand,Laborembracestherationaleforoutsourcingandarguesthatweshouldusethepolicymoreaggressively:

tobuildsmallAustralianbusinesses.Itis"asensibleandpracticalpolicytool,"accordingtoSenatorLundy.

Butontheotherhand,shewarnsthatoutsourcingshouldbeeschewedasadangerous,laissez-fairepolicy:

"underlyingtheprivatesectorisalwaystheprofitmotivationforprivatebenefit.Thepublicsectorontheotherhandhasaperpetualcommitmenttothebenefitofall."

Shealsocomplainsthattechnologistslikeyou"lackthecommercialacumen"totranslateconceptsintocommercialopportunityand,onthatbasis,arguesforamoratoriumonoutsourcing.

Inotherwords,Laborrecognisesthebenefitsofoutsourcingandsaysitshouldbebolderandmoreaggressive–yetLaboralsopromisestoputastoptoit.

Thatwouldmeannoprivatesectorjobs,noprivatesectorinvestment,andnoprivatesectorregionaldevelopment.

Thosearejustsomeofthebenefitsofourpolicy,butthereareplentymore.

Forastart,GovernmentdepartmentsandagenciesarerethinkinghowtheyuseandmanagetheirITinfrastructure.AndthatisprovingveryhealthyforGovernmentand,ofcourse,thecommunity.

ThebureaucraticandtechnicalempiresofyesterdayarebeingshakenupandGovernmentagenciesarebeingencouragedtofocusontheircorebusiness.TheyarebeingforcedtolookatwhatITservicestheyrequiretobestdelivertheirobjectives.

Indeterminingthosebasicneeds,agenciesarebeingassistedby‘OASITO’tofullyunderstandtheirownITactivitiesandtogainaninsightintothetruecostoftheirITinfrastructureandservices.

Theresultsareveryencouraging.ITusedtoberegardedasacuriousnoveltybybureaucratswhowouldthinkof‘TheJetsons’wheneveryoumentionedtechnology.Today,ITisregardedasaflexibletooltofacilitatethebusinessofGovernment.

Apartfromthisattitudinalchange,ourpolicyhasmanytangiblebenefits.

Thepublicandprivatesectorswilldevelopstrategicpartnershipsthroughoutsourcing,somethingthathasbeenanaimoftheinitiativefromthebeginning.

TheAustralianITindustrygetsabetterchanceatamuchwiderrangeofwork–workthatusedtobetheexclusivepreserveofgovernment.

ITpersonnelwillhavethechancetofurthertheircareersinthedynamicenvironmentoftheprivatesector–wherethereisacriticalITjobsshortage.

AsIindicatedearlier,oneofourprincipalgoalsisthedevelopmentofahealthyindigenousITindustry.

Fromtheverybeginning,everyefforthasbeenmadetoensurethatindustrydevelopmentisakeyobjectiveofIToutsourcing.

Here’show.

Thesuccessfultenderersforanycontractarecontractuallyboundtosignificantindustrydevelopmentofferings,includingnewexportsandinvestment,sourcingAustraliancontent,smallandmediumenterpriseparticipation,andregionaldevelopmentandemployment.

Iftheyfailonanycount,theymeetsignificantpenalties–hardlythestuffof‘economicrationalism’.

But,importantly,ourpolicyisnoteconomicallyirrational,either.

Ourindustrydevelopmentframeworkisnon-prescriptive.Itseeksproposalsthatarecommerciallysensible,sustainable,andalignedtothecorporateobjectivesoftenderers.

TheGovernmentwillcontinuetorequirefromtenderers,contractualcommitmentstoindustrydevelopmentthatarecommerciallysensibleandsustainable,andthatcontributetothegrowthoftheAustralianITindustry.

AnothermatterIwanttoaddressisthecostofoutsourcing.

Manycriticspointtothecostofoutsourcingwithoutpayingregardtothecomplexityoftheprogram,ortothespecialistskillsneeded.

Presumably,thosewouldpreferustooutsourcewithoutthebenefitoffinancialadvice,legaladvice,riskanalysis,orprobitychecks.

Presumably,theywouldaskexpertslikeyoutoprovideadviceatafractionofthemarketrate.

Thetruthisthat,withoutarangeofexpertadvice,andunlessyoupaymarketrates,ourdesiredoutcomeswillneverbeachieved.Thatmeanssub-optimaloutcomesintermsofsavings,employment,industrydevelopmentandinvestment–hardlytheoutcomeexpectedbytaxpayersordeservedbytheindustry.

BeforeImoveon,thereisoneothermatterIwanttoaddress.

Thereseemstobeamisapprehensionabouttheso-called‘mediagag’appliedtoITenterprisesintheoutsourcinginitiative.

Theso-called‘gag’doesnotexist.Instead,Iamconcernedtoavoidbidsbymediaannouncement–asituationthatwouldgrosslydisadvantagethesmallerbidderswithoutthetime,resourcesandcontactsnecessarytowinthemediagame.

So,contrarytotheimpressionscreatedbysome,thereisnogag,andneverwillbe.
