AFP may send contract work offshore

July 29, 2008
THE Australian Federal Police has started a round of voluntary redundancies after taking the axe to its technology contractors earlier this year...

"It is taking longer than expected to move into the development phase of some major IT projects and this, coupled with some resourcing adjustments, has required a change in focus and priority,"...

The spokesman admitted the contract work could be sent offshore, provided it met certain security requirements.

"Development work could be allocated to any successful tenderer. AFP systems or migration of legacy data and any activity involving access to sensitive data is unlikely to be outsourced. "There is no intention to host AFP systems or the data they contain offshore."
