1. Key Trends
1. In 2015-16, Australian Government non-Corporate entities spent 10.4 per cent of total departmental spend on ICT.
2. In 2015-16 total ICT spend increased from $5.7 billion to $6.2 billion.
3. Of total ICT spend, outsourcing to external providers has increased from 20 per cent to 28 per cent since 2011-12, but outsourcing to other entities remains low at about 2 per cent.
4. The number of cloud contracts1 has increased from seven in 2011-12 to 133 contracts in 2015-16, however contracts started in 2015-16 account for just under 1 per cent of total ICT spend in that year.
5. Of spend on major applications2, 45 per cent was on Corporate, and 55 per cent was on Business (including customer-related) applications.
6. 78 per cent of total ICT spend (including projects) was on Run; 13 per cent was on Grow and nine per cent was on Transform.

Personnel
For the period of 2011-12 – 2015-16 Number of ICT FTE declined from 17,758 to 15,808 or 11.3% to 10.4% of total entities FTE

8. Notes
8.1 Benchmarking objectives and purpose
The Australian Government introduced the ICT Benchmarking program to facilitate better practice and rigour in monitoring the efficiency and effectiveness of ICT investments. The Australian Government ICT Trends Report 2015–16 (the Report) informs government, industry and the general community about trends in Australian Government ICT use and expenditure.
The objectives of benchmarking are to:
measure the efficiency of ICT services;
inform policy development; and
support ICT investment decision-making at both entity and whole-of-government levels.
Finance aims to balance the need to change the metrics in response to policy and changing technology, while maintaining longitudinal trend analysis, and the effort required by entities to collect data.
Finance welcomes questions or feedback on this report via email at [email protected].
8.2 Benchmarking data source
All Non-Corporate Commonwealth entities participate in the annual ICT Benchmarking exercise. Entities provide data about their ICT costs, personnel and infrastructure. Cloud data is captured from AusTender (https://www.tenders.gov.au/).
8.3 Applicable qualifications
The following qualifications apply to the metrics presented in this Report (unless otherwise noted):
All ICT spend data excludes administered funds, except for administered funds that are used for whole-of-government operations.
All spend data are represented in real terms with the 2015-16 financial year base CPI indexation applied.
Data excludes military ICT spend.
Total spend metrics excludes intra-government spending.
Estimation of non-reporting is quantified by applying a CPI indexation to previous year’s data.
38
Department of FinanceAustralian Government ICT Trends Report
2015-16
Analysis is based on the data presented to Finance as at 7 December 2016. The findings in this report are subject to the provision of any updated data by entities after the date of this analysis.
Entities have been provided the opportunity to assure the accuracy of their data.
Small Cohort entities (representing 10% of total ICT spend) are excluded from some analyses as relevant data are not collected from them.
The report should be considered in conjunction with other efficiency indicators and the Government’s broader agenda.
