Government agencies led to future-proof tech infrastructure with OpenText report
OpenText has released its Intermedium report, Retiring
Legacy Applications and Databases: Proven Strategies for Government Agencies.
Report findings show that government agencies spent 80 % of their budget on running systems, including legacy applications and databases – more than in sectors like banking and finance.
George Harb, Vice President- ANZ, OpenText, said:“ Government agencies across Australia are under increasing pressure to deliver faster, more secure, and citizen-centric digital services. This report provides a clear and practical blueprint for transitioning from outdated legacy systems to agile, future-ready platforms.”
Key strategies from the report include: Developing an unassailable business case to secure support, applying value-for-money assessments when selecting approaches, taking an iterative approach to modernisation and aligning initiatives with Whole of Government( WofG) directives
The report says agencies are more successful in decommissioning legacy systems when their strategies align with WofG directives – allowing them to leverage reusable components and resources, including support from the WofG digital agency. It also increases their chances of accessing funding through WofG ICT and digital funding pools
NSW, Western Australia, Tasmania and South Australia are referenced in the report as having dedicated budget mechanisms to encourage ICT and digital projects that support WofG priorities
OpenText supports over 700 government organisations across Australia and New Zealand, with a strong focus on Federal and State departments, agencies, and commissions. The report’ s recommendations aim to accelerate digital transformation across government, helping public sector institutions deliver better outcomes for the communities they serve.
QpiAI announces dawn of quantum era in India with 25 qubit quantum computer
Bangalore based deep-tech startup QpiAI, a leader in quantum computing and GenAI, has announced its First Quantum computer launch code named QpiAI Indus Quantum Computer.
Dr Nagendra Nagaraja, CEO and Founder, QpiAI, said: " We are excited about our roadmap to commercialize quantum computers, leveraging large-scale qubit integration and logical qubits. The T1 and T2 times for our current 25 – Qubit Indus Quantum Computer are 30 μs and 25 μs, respectively, characterized by our in-house developed quantum control electronics cluster and are expected to increase to 100 μs soon.”
QpiAI has built advanced next generation generative AI and agentic AI systems that can autonomously navigate complex scenarios and build emergent intelligence through agent-based modeling – the computers use superconducting qubits and roadmap to experiment with CMOS-based spin qubits in future models.
“ We aim to create scalable, reliable quantum systems capable of supporting complex, high-impact applications,” said Dr Nagaraja. p
QpiAI has developed full-stack quantum computing technology vertically integrating AI and Quantum computing systems combining AI, quantum computers, algorithms, software and applications.
India’ s Department of Science and Technology( DST) is a shareholder of QpiAI via the National Quantum Mission.
The Gen-1 QpiAI system is built with efficient Quantum-HPC integration with a colocated HPC data center for high-throughput and low-latency computing. The QpiAI quantum applications stack combines AI-driven quantum compilation with application-specific architectures for maximizing hybrid quantum-classical performance.
