Stoner said the government viewed Cloud technology and mobile devices as being the main priorities of 2011 for CIOs and IT managers.
“As research company Gartner has noted, a focus from business on greater enterprise and IT productivity has seen cloud computing, mobile technologies and networking, voice and data communications become the leading priorities this year for Australian and New Zealand CIOs.”
Other companies which will appear on the NSW stand at the CeBIT exhibition include Selera, which produces an agile platform to solve database problems, customer contact centre program BrainGauge, and ReadCloud, an eReading software package for schools and libraries.
