Wellington Branch - Procurement’s Role: Resilient IT Strategies for a Skills-Short Market

Join the Wellington Branch for an exciting knowledge sharing event on the topic of Procurement’s Role: Resilient IT Strategies for a Skills-Short Market.

Committed to delivering a unified digital customer experience, procurement professionals play a pivotal role in selecting the right technology partners, service models, and platforms to support that vision.

At the same time, skills shortages in cloud, AI, and cybersecurity are driving increased outsourcing — requiring procurement to balance cost, risk, and innovation more carefully than ever.

This joint event with Unisys explores how to:

• Align outsourcing strategies with digital direction
• Navigate vendor ecosystems while maintaining security, service quality, and flexibility
• Support the shift to AI-driven, secure, and consistent service delivery across government
• Embrace Device as a Service (DaaS) and automation to reduce complexity and optimise spend
