Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Department of Finance (Finance) for Electorate Office IT support services since July 2003.
Support services include: • Single Service desk (2020) • Management and maintenance of the single desktop image and single mobile image • Disaster recovery data backups • Technical consultancy • Fee for service initiatives not covered under the above ie for new technologies (a current activity is mobile messaging)
Current Costing model • “Resource funded” model – i.e. staff salaries and related costs • Estimated workload (call numbers) based on data provided by the previous, commercial service provider • Estimates extrapolated using existing DPS resource model for first, second and third level support calls
Testing the Resource Model • Call numbers dramatically exceeded initial projections • DPS able to request additional resources from Finance • Final resourcing numbers increased to 20.5 • Has remained static for the last 18 months
Renewal of MOA • Review of costing model • New costing model will be “service” based. • DPS project to catalogue services provided across the parliament
Services Catalogue offers: Customers • Definitive source of DPS services, • Know how to access services, service availability and service levels. Management • Definitive list of services that can be validated against funding. Support areas • Agreed service levels and agreed “sponsors and owners” of services.
Stakeholder Benefits Clearer view of: • what services DPS provides • who DPS provides the services to • who funds the service • who supports the service in operation
Consultation DPS will engage with customers to: • confirm services outlined in the catalogue are what they require • ensure service levels meet their business requirements • identify any gaps in the services
Service Inputs After validation of services, then identify inputs required to provide the services, ie: • servers • licenses • contracts • maintenance • the people
Services based model Allows better decision making on a number of levels: • Customer and service provider identify better, more efficient way to deliver the service(s) • Management determine appropriate level of funding for all services • Service delivery areas can determine resources required to provide the service
