The recommendations of the Gershon Review have been accepted in full by the Australian government and are now being implemented. On 17 December 2012 A New Direction for AGIMO was blogged, announcing the creation of a new Australian Government Chief Technology Officer role to complement the role of the Australian Government Chief Information Officer (CIO). Mr John Sheridan was appointed to the CTO position and Mr Glenn Archer was appointed to the CIO role. These changes took place on 4 February 2013. AGIMO was effectively split into two functions, the CIO and a new CTO role. In brief, the CIO looks after whole of government ICT policy while the CTO looks after whole of government ICT services and procurement. The CIO continues to lead AGIMO, while the CTO is in charge of the newly created Technology and Procurement Division. Both functions are still within the Department of Finance.
