The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
According to Araneta vendors have become more mindful of
fee structures and engagement margins, and, he maintains, “banks
justifiably have to be on their guard for vendors drastically cutting
staff levels as well as those showing declines in service-level
agreement (SLA) compliance and performance.
“Furthermore, as the IT department is pressed to
justify technology spending, the vendor management office is compelled
to spend more effort on vendor due diligence, monitoring, and scrutiny
of SLAs.”
Araneta says he applauds moves by several vendors to significantly
improve corporate governance and transparency, and concludes that
“disclosures made by vendors to current and potential clients have
become more detailed to include other client references, new wins, and
other metrics for performance and delivery.
“Overall, the practice and standards of corporate governance have
improved,” Arenta says, but adds that it remains to be seen, however,
“whether changes are for the long-term or just coterminous with the
weak economic climate."
