Pre Conference Workshop A
Monday 15th February 2016, 9:00am – 4:00pm
Price: $799 + GST
The Department of Premier and Cabinet in Queensland recently got their ICT
as-a-service transformation underway. Although it is still in its early stages,
the lessons learnt are invaluable for other departments and agencies that
are looking to go through a similar process. The host for this workshop was
heavily involved in the project team and helped the Department create their
strategic roadmap for the next six to twelve months.
This workshop will be a practical and interactive session which will focus on
the early stages of an as-a-service transition. Whether you are about to go
to tender, or simply deciding whether a cloud journey is the right direction to
take, this is the perfect opportunity to get all your key questions answered.
This workshop will focus on how to:
• Build a business case to gain executive buy-in
• Develop a requirement specification
• Create strategic vendor partnerships
• Manage the transition to the cloud
• Overcome the core challenges when moving to ICT as-a-service
• How to find scalability in the cloud

Strategies to transition to an
as-a-service model
The Government ICT procurement landscape is changing. Federal
and State Government agencies are in the process of self-evaluation,
as the pressure to implement a cloud-first strategy increases. Before
they can fully commit to an as-a-service transition, it is imperative to
understand what steps need to be taken to ensure the journey is a
success.
The ‘Implementing an As-a-Service Model’ conference will bring
together Government officials who are leading their agencies’ cloud
strategy adoption. The presenters will discuss how to get the
transition started, how to overcome the initial roadblocks, and how
to find service improvements from cloud adoption.
This event is the perfect setting for Government leaders to come
together, network and create a clear road map for as-a-service
adoption.
Who will be attending?
IT and Business leaders from Federal, State and Local Government
including:
•• CIOs/ CTOs/ CPOs
•• IT Directors
