 Together with the Queensland Government Chief Information Office, Longhaus now offers the true benchmark in Australian Public Sector ICT research. The ICT Baseline:
The provision of a new and high-quality service using data directly provided from the Government dramatically increases ICT vendor efficiency in interacting with the public sector. The ICT market also recognises industry analyst firms and government agencies as highly credible sources of data supply, ranking them higher than internal sales (7%), consultancies (25%), and even internal research (38%) for the same purpose. For Public Sector AgenciesOur research tells us that the top 5 tools to assist end-user ICT decision makers are: i) a definitive IT strategy, ii) accurate supplier benchmarking information, iii) ICT executive education, iv) simpler terms and conditions in contracts, and v) vendor independent analysis. The ICT Baseline provides immediate access to vital government intelligence to allow agencies to gain visibility into different vendor performance. Save research time in pricing evaluations, and find out which agencies employ a technology you are preparing to pursue. For ICT VendorsOur research tells us that the top 5 things ICT vendors want to know about the Government marketplace are: i) cross-agency and whole of government initiatives, ii) forward procurement plans, iii) overall spending on ICT, iv) level of ICT budgets, and v) ICT products used. Through the Longhaus Baseline your organisation can gain access to the ONLY endorsed ICT profiles, benchmarks, detailed spending, market forecasts, and unique analysis to focus your internal marketing spend or assist your next tender submission or sales plan.
