New Zealand government departments to increase business continuity spending

A report by Statistics New Zealand into government information and communication technology expenditure states that many government departments and organisations are increasing their business continuity related spending.

The ‘2006 Government Use of ICT Survey’ shows that 90 percent of all government organisations are planning to make capital investment in ICT in the next 12 months. The top three areas for investment were new or upgraded software, desktop hardware, and ICT infrastructure, with 77 percent each. Intended benefits from ICT investment in the next 12 months were to improve: the efficiency of workflow, business activities and processes (77 percent), business continuity and security (74 percent), and quality of services (69 percent).
