6 Australian Government ICT Trends Report
7 1. Executive Summary The Australian Government introduced the ICT Benchmarking programme to facilitate better practice and rigour in monitoring the efficiency and effectiveness of ICT investments. The Australian Government ICT Trends Report (the Report) informs the general community and industry about Government ICT use and expenditure. All Non-Corporate Commonwealth entities participate in the annual ICT benchmarking exercise. Agencies provide data about their ICT costs, personnel and infrastructure. The Department of Finance (Finance) uses the data to assess the whole-of-australian-government ICT environment. The Report provides aggregate figures on: total ICT expenditure, breakdowns of expenditure by service tower, and by cost element; ICT personnel, including by service tower, whether internal or external, and by level; and ICT infrastructure deployed by agencies, including numbers of servers and desktop devices. Key findings of the Report are: the Government has an ICT expenditure of $5.19 billion in the Financial Year ; when compared to , the total reported ICT expenditure in has decreased by 2.3 per cent (from $5.31 billion to $5.19 billion) while the total reported agency expenditure decreased by 14.7 per cent (from $63.29 billion to $53.96 billion). This has resulted in an increase of ICT expenditure as a proportion of total reported agency expenditure by 14 per cent over the same time period (8.4 per cent to 9.6 per cent); from to there was an increase in ICT expenditure of $130 million across the Australian Government; and business-as-usual costs remain within the target 70 per cent of expenditure, indicating a sufficient proportion of funds is directed to building new capability. Finance, in consultation with agencies, has reviewed the programme. A revised framework is proposed to be phased in over the next two years, to provide increased transparency, analysis, and value to the Government and agencies. This will include changes to this Report. Australian Government ICT Trends Report
8 2. Notes 2.1 Agency cohort definitions In , agencies are classified into cohorts based on their ICT expenditure in the financial year. Large agencies are defined as those that make up the top 85 per cent of ICT expenditure (above $42 million in ICT expenditure); Medium agencies are defined as those that make up between 85 and 95 per cent (10 per cent) of ICT expenditure (between $42 million and $15 million in ICT expenditure); Small agencies are defined as those that make up between 95 and 99 per cent (4 per cent) of ICT expenditure (between $15 million and $3 million in ICT expenditure); and Micro agencies are defined as those agencies that contribute the bottom 1 per cent of total ICT expenditure (below $3 million in ICT expenditure). 2.2 Agency cohort composition The graph below shows the composition of the agency cohort for based on expenditure. Australian Government ICT Trends Report
9 2.3 General notes The report should be considered in the wider context ICT expenditure and other metrics should be viewed in conjunction with other efficiency indicators and the Government s broader agenda. The data underlying this analysis may change This analysis is based on the data presented to Finance, by agencies, as at 6 May The findings in these material is subject to the provision of any updated data by agencies after the date of this analysis. Machinery of Government (MOG), incomplete data, and improvements in the quality of agency reporting makes comparison over time difficult Only agencies that have provided complete and valid data for the calculation of each metric, in all years, have typically been included in the analysis; this is assessed on a metric by metric basis. Data presented in previous iterations of the ICT trends reports may vary to those presented in this report, both as a result of these factors, and as a result of refinements to the data quality. These variations are generally of low significance in the context of whole-of-government reporting. Agencies have been provided the opportunity to assure the accuracy of their data All data provided have been assessed using a standard statistical methodology; data points that were found to be statistically significant, or shown to have significant variations from data provided in previous years, have been identified to agencies. Agencies were then invited to confirm the accuracy of their data; as such all data included in this analysis are considered to be accurate and, where possible, all available data have been included in the analysis. Total expenditure metrics excludes intra-government spending Intra-government spending is excluded from whole-of-government expenditure analysis to eliminate double-counting of expenditure. Most of the data presented relates to Large and Medium cohort agencies Micro and Small Cohort agencies are excluded from some analyses as relevant data is not collected from them. Australian Government ICT Trends Report
10 2.4 Applicable qualifications The following qualifications apply to all the metrics presented in this Report (unless otherwise noted): All expenditure data exclude administered funds and non-reporting agencies. This differs from the General Government Expenditure provided for in the Consolidated Financial Statements. All expenditure data are represented in real terms with the financial year base CPI indexation applied. Estimation of non-reporting is quantified by applying a CPI indexation of data from relevant years as reported in the ICT benchmarking survey. Data are inclusive of estimated expenditure for identified areas of non-reporting. The amounts of these estimates are: > $160 million; > $50 million; > $70 million; > $37 million; and > no estimated component. Data presented are for the Large, Medium, Small, and Micro cohorts.

Australian Government ICT Trends Report
14 3. Metrics: ICT Expenditure 3.1 Total ICT expenditure as a proportion of total agency expenditure This metric provides an overview of the role ICT expenditure plays in overall Government spending. Compared to , the total reported ICT expenditure has decreased by 2.3 per cent (from $5.31 billion to $5.19 billion) while the total reported agency expenditure decreased by 14 per cent (from $63.29 billion to $53.96 billion). This has resulted in an increase of ICT expenditure as a proportion of total reported agency expenditure by 14 per cent over the same time period (8.4 per cent to 9.6 per cent). The decline in reported agency expenditure of $8.82 billion from to is attributable to varying factors, including the cessation of projects and rationalisation due to the prevailing fiscal environment. Australian Government ICT Trends Report
15 3.2 ICT expenditure as a proportion of Government expenditure ICT expenditure as a per cent of total expenditure is an indicator of overall ICT performance and varies significantly between industry sectors (e.g., government, manufacturing, transport, mining, etc.). In the 2013 OECD Survey of ICT Expenditures report (based on data), Australia ranked seventh when comparing ICT expenditure as a proportion of Government expenditure, ahead of the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Since the OECD survey, the share of Australian Government expenditure devoted to ICT has decreased from 1.4 per cent to 1.3 per cent. Australian Government ICT Trends Report
16 3.3 ICT expenditure as a proportion of operational expenditure *International benchmarks source: Gartner IT Key Metrics Data (December 2014). Over the past five years, Australian Government average ICT expenditure accounted for approximately 11 per cent of the total operating expenditure, which is higher than the international benchmark of approximately 9 per cent. Australian Government ICT Trends Report
17 3.4 Business as usual (BAU) ICT expenditure Recommended by the Review of the Australian Government s Use of ICT This metric provides an overview of BAU ICT expenditure as a proportion of total reported ICT expenditure. BAU expenditure are defined as all costs outside of projects. Since , ICT investments on BAU remain within the recommended target (70 per cent) set by the Review of the Australian Government s Use of Information and Communication Technology Australian Government ICT Trends Report
18 3.5 Operating vs. capital ICT expenditure Compared to , ICT operating expenditure in has decreased by 7 per cent (from $4.25 billion to $3.96 billion), while ICT capital expenditure has increased by 15 per cent (from $1.14 billion to $1.31 billion). This has contributed to the overall increase of ICT capital expenditure as a proportion of total reported capital expenditure. Traditionally, capital expenditure is viewed as initiating a return on investment; whereas operating expenditure refers to the day-to-day costs. However, if agencies move to outsourcing, a decline in capital expenditure and an increase in operating expenditure would be expected. Associated scalability and flexibility provide additional efficiencies. For example, the take-up of external cloud computing means agencies only pay for what they use. Australian Government ICT Trends Report
19 3.6 ICT expenditure per service tower Applications is the single largest area of expenditure, being more than three times the size of the second-largest, End User Infrastructure. Since the start of the reporting period, Applications expenditure has increased its share of total ICT expenditure from 34 per cent to 40 per cent. Australian Government ICT Trends Report
20 3.7 ICT expenditure by cost element Since the start of the reporting period, expenditure on Internal Personnel and Services Outsourced to External Providers as a proportion of total ICT expenditure has increased by 4 to 5 per cent apiece. Together these expenditures make up 54 per cent of total ICT expenditure in Australian Government ICT Trends Report
21 4. Metrics: ICT FTE 4.1 Total ICT FTE Compared with , the number of ICT FTE in has increased by 5.6 per cent (or 700 FTE). However, the number of ICT FTE has decreased by 6.3 per cent (or 900 FTE) since its peak in In , Government expenditure on ICT personnel was $2.1 billion or 40.4 per cent of total government ICT expenditure. Australian Government ICT Trends Report
22 4.2 ICT FTE as a proportion of total government FTE *International benchmarks source: Gartner IT Key Metrics Data (December 2014). Over the reporting period, the Australian Government has provided a higher level of ICT support for its staff (each ICT staff supporting approximately nine non-ict staff) than its international counterparts (each ICT staff supporting between 11 and 15 non-ict staff). Australian Government ICT Trends Report
23 4.3 ICT expenditure (excludes voice service tower) per employee head count *Total Australian Government employee head count sourced from the reporting agencies annual reports. **International benchmarks source: Gartner IT Key Metrics Data (December 2014). Numbers have been converted into $AUD at 15 December The Australian Government ICT expenditure (excludes voice service tower) per employee head count (5-year average of $31,500 per annum) ranks favourably at international level (5-years average of $23,000 per annum). These benchmarks should be viewed cautiously given the differences in the cost of wages, broadband connectivity, and software in Australia. Australian Government ICT Trends Report
24 4.4 Internal ICT FTE Compared to , there has been an increase in the proportion of internal ICT FTE compared to external ICT FTE by 5 per cent (from 77.6 per cent to 82.7 per cent), which is primarily made up of movement in the Executive Level 1 (EL1) grade. Please note that the data for Internal ICT FTE by pay grade excludes Small and Micro Cohort agencies. Australian Government ICT Trends Report
25 4.5 Internal ICT FTE vs. APS employees 2 by pay grade In , the profile of Executive Level 1 and 2 (EL1 and EL2) and APS6 in ICT differs to that of the APS more broadly, with stronger representation of staff at these levels working in ICT. Conversely, ICT FTE at APS1-4 are disproportionally less represented when compared to the general APS. This may be an indication of the specialised skills required in ICT roles. Please note that this metric excludes Small and Micro Cohort agencies. 2 The whole-of-aps staffing profile is sourced from the State of Service Report published by the Australian Public Service Commission, and covers non-reporting agencies. Australian Government ICT Trends Report
26 4.6 Internal vs. external BAU and Non-BAU Over the reporting period, there has been a decrease in the number of both external ICT FTE (BAU and non-bau) and internal non-bau ICT FTE. However, over the same period there has been an increase in the number of internal BAU ICT FTE (by 55.7 per cent from 6,100 to 9,500 FTE). Please note that this data excludes Small and Micro Cohort agencies, resulting in a small difference in each year s total reported ICT FTE from those in chart 4.1. Australian Government ICT Trends Report
27 5. Infrastructure 5.1 Virtualisation Since , the number of midrange physical servers has steadily declined while the number of operating systems (OSs) running on those servers has increased over the same time period. This has resulted in an overall rise in the virtualisation rate. In there was an anomalous rise in the virtualisation rate, driven by an unprecedented increase in the number of OSs. In the context of the overall reporting period, the subsequent fall in the number of OSs, and the drop in the virtualisation rate, is a return to the trend established by the years to Australian Government ICT Trends Report
28 5.2 End user devices Over the reporting period, desktop computers are the most common end user devices used in the APS (80 per cent in ). Over the same period, there has been a rapid increase in the usage of thin client devices, tripling their share of the end user device pool (from 2 per cent to 6 per cent). Australian Government ICT Trends Report
29 5.3 Storage Over the reporting period, there has been a steady increase in the demand for storage of approximately 33 thousand TB per annum. At the same time, the cost per unit of storage has decreased by a factor of 5.7 (from $4,379 per TB to $767 per TB). Australian Government ICT Trends Report
30 6. Future Directions Finance, in consultation with agencies, has reviewed the programme. A revised framework is proposed to be phased in over the next two years, to provide increased transparency, analysis, and value to the Government and agencies. This will include changes to this Report. Finance welcomes questions or feedback on this report via at ICTbenchmarking@finance.gov.au. Australian Government ICT Trends Report
