Austrailia's early 2000s experiment with a #SharedServices organization is super interesting.

Super impressed that they actually checked that their #centralization effort was delivering on it's claims.... and it wasn't.

The original business case was "fundamentally flawed" and has "resulted in a total cost to the State of $473 million" instead of the expected savings of $68 million/year.

* 91 per cent of sampled agencies comment that service delivery has deteriorated upon transitioning to shared
services.
* Over 80 per cent of the sampled agencies reported that processing timeframes have worsened
* rolling-in to the DTFSSC has had a detrimental impact on the operations of the majority of rolled-in agencies

"The Authority concludes that the current structure of the DTFSSC is problematic. It is a monopoly provider, with a mandated client base and a lack of meaningful service level agreements. This means that there are minimal incentives for DTFSSC to improve service delivery and few ways in which client agencies can hold DTFSSC accountable"

In #TBS policy there are a number of places where they mention cloud service models as a progression from IaaS > PaaS > SaaS.

It's like commodity SaaS software is end state all initiatives should be aiming for... as though there is nothing unique about running a country that might require software.

#FaaS is furthest up the stack for custom development.
#SaaS is for commodity software.

My latest attempt at explaining that mandate specific stuff will require custom development, not just procurement.

The weirdly consistent refusal I see (at all levels) in the Canadian government to engage in software development (or even employ programmers) means there are certain things can't/won't get done.

Does this make a clear case for custom dev? How would you argue that point?
