According to Barkla, while it is a tough economic environment “Australian organisations are looking for innovative ways to reduce their operating costs and improve business efficiency while retaining the flexibility and capacity to be able to respond to market changes.” “For commercial organisations this means being able to meet budget reduction demands in response to the global financial crisis while still maintaining core operations, meeting compliance requirements and being able to quickly take advantage of market opportunities as they arise. Meanwhile government agencies are looking for ways to deal with reduced funding, citizen demand for services and a heightened awareness of security.” “As a result, the organisations we work with are turning to improved business processes and streamlined technical infrastructure to help them reach these goals. This applies both to new clients and existing clients who want a new approach. Ultimately it’s about helping them to reduce costs and improve processes now – without harvesting the future.” Barkla says that in the strategic outsourcing market, there’s a trend reflected in the type of services that Unisys has been engaged to provide to Australian organisations.
