Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The Treasury has selected Fujitsu to supply and support software for the federal government’s Standard Business Reporting (SBR) initiative which has been launched by the government as part of its strategy to reduce the regulatory reporting burden on Australian businesses.
Fujitsu Australia says it will supply and
support Interstage XWand software – a custom technology development by
Fujitsu Japan – for the SBR in an initial two-year contract valued at
around $4 million.
Fujitsu Australia, group executive director, federal government,
Michael Blake, said today the Interstage XWand software is available to
be used by both government agencies and software developers to produce
XBRL enabled financial applications that will reduce the business
reporting burden for Australian businesses.
Blake claimed SBR would simplify business-to-government reporting and
save Australian businesses around $800 million annually when fully
implemented.
According to Blake, Fujitsu was selected to deliver its customised
technology as Fujitsu represented “the best value-for-money solution,
and demonstrated a willingness to work flexibly with the SBR Program to
assist achieve its goals.” He said Fujitsu’s in-country development and
support capability provided by Fujitsu Australia Software Technology
(FAST) was a key driver of the success of the initiative.
Blake said FAST was the first Fujitsu software development
organisation to be located outside of Japan, with FAST staff including
systems & enterprise application integrators, software designers
and developers, solution architects and project managers.
“FAST software development expertise extends across Internet, open
source and mainframe environments, providing unique e-business
services,” Blake said, adding that Fujitsu was “excited to be exploring
new business opportunities to leverage our footprint with the SBR
project and to further assist operational efficiencies for all
Australian businesses.”
