Government Selected Applications Systems (GSAS)

A new whole-of-government strategic direction for the procurement of government corporate applications has been developed under People First - the NSW Government’s ICT Strategic Plan. 

The GSAS strategy is based on the Government PeopleFirst ICT strategic plan to further reducing the number of corporate applications across the sector through consolidation and aggregation of purchase spend and licences. GSAS is a project that is being delivered as an element of the BOAC Program.
