FORMER premier David Bartlett is keeping his old department close with the State Government being used as guinea pigs for a new IT initiative by his company.
Asdeqlabs, the company Mr Bartlett joined as chairman in 2011 after stepping down as Premier, is trialling new software aimed at keeping government documents safe.
The Department of Premier and Cabinet have jumped on board the new initiative.
The AsdeqDocs software is aimed at helping government employees use tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices without compromising the security of sensitive documents.
Government spokesman Michael Stedman said the trial was agreed to prior to a COAG meeting in July 2012 with the official trial beginning during the middle of last year.
"Asdeqlabs has not been formally engaged by the Tasmanian Government," Mr Stedman said.
"However, DPAC is conducting a free trial of software that Asdeqlabs are developing which provides secure delivery of corporate data to mobile devices.
"This is an obligation-free trial and if it is determined that this kind of service is required in the future it will be subject to the standard competitive tender process."
TasICT executive officer Dean Winter said any time the State Government could use the ICT sector to increase productivity would benefit taxpayers.
"Asdeqlabs is just one of many Tasmanian ICT firms creating and implementing innovative software solutions on a worldwide scale," he said.
"Tablets have been hugely successful since the first iPad was released, but haven't been fully embraced by business or government. Asdeqlabs is trying to change that.
"With the full NBN rollout not far away, we're going to see even more technology solutions being trialled in Tasmania.
"It makes a lot of sense for Tasmanian Government departments to be involved in that.
"I hope the trial is successful and leads to ongoing engagement between the Government and the sector."
