provements to our human resources system. We’ve improved our facilities management by replacing a number of the legacy systems with a centralised estate management sys- tem, again, mid this year.
We’ve also consolidated Defence’s com- puting infrastructure and applications en- vironment to 11 national and three inter- national data centres. We’ve upgraded the operating systems across Defence to Win- dows7inJanuary2017,andtransitioned70 percentofprotectedsystemssofartoWin- dows 10. 261 sites have been migrated to the new Defence Terrestrial Communications Network, which will be completed in 2019.
So in terms of the Defence Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), we gave second pass approval in June 2018 and started to assess the offerings from those who had tendered. We had two shortlisted respon- dents. We weren’t absolutely comfortable or satisfied with the offerings that were being made to us on the ERP. We’ve gone back to them and asked them to do more work on their proposals/bids and we will decide that process by June 2019.
We initiated an independent assurance review to review the proposals so that we could be satisfied with what we’re being offered and I think the answer is that we should get the thing right; we should get the ERP right rather than just do it for the sake of getting it done.
It’s better to make a decision and get on with it than not to make a decision at all. Across the rest of the portfolio, as people can see, we have done that. If we get the wrongdecisionwecanalwaysundoitlater. The difficulty with the ERP and the ICT changes, if you make the wrong decision at the beginning, you’ll spend the rest of your life trying to fix it.
ADM: Final question, do you think the redacted ANAO report into Hawkei sets a precedent for other audit reports into Defence capabilities?
PYNE: We welcomed the ANAO report because we always think it’s better to find out what we can do to improve in our pro- cesses and so on. There are a couple of prob- lems with the ANAO report. The first one
was that they compared the Hawkei to the JLTV in the US and they’re very different vehicles. It’s like comparing a top of the line Toyota Sahara with a Ford Territory and saying that just because they’ve both got high wheels they are the same vehicle; they’re not, they’re very different and the Territory costs about $48,000 and a Sahara costs about $120,000.
So the JLTV is a different vehicle to the Hawkei and so that was a fundamental problem. That said, the ANAO report was helpful, but there were certain issues in the ANAO report that I felt had na- tional security implications and impacted on our international reputation and cut across other priorities in the government and I asked the Attorney-General to re- view that and if he agreed with me to use what powers he might have to protect our national interests.
I don’t know if he agreed with every- thing I said but he certainly did enough to ensure that I felt the report, once it was released, didn’t damage our national interests.
