Australian Government Information Management Office
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO) is a branch of the Australian Government. It was established on 8 April 2004, replacing the National Office for the Information Economy (NOIE).
Functions of the former NOIE relating to the promotion and coordination of the use of new information and communications technology to deliver Government policies, information, programs and services have been placed with AGIMO.
Functions of the former NOIE relating to broader policy, research and programs have been transferred to the Office for the Information Economy in the Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts (DCITA).
On 22 October 2004, the Prime Minister, John Howard, announced that the Australian Government Information Management Office would be incorporated in the Department of Finance and Administration.
AGIMO fosters the efficient and effective use of ICT by Australian Government departments and agencies. It provides strategic advice, activities and representation relating to the application of ICT to government administration, information and services.
It is the office of the Australian Government's Chief Information Officer, Ann Steward.
