Henshaw said that, as part of the extended desktop services contract, Unisys has recently begun virtualising the IT infrastructure supporting the department’s national office. “These two contract extensions reflect how Unisys has successfully worked closely with DIAC to reach some of the objectives set by an independent review of the Australian government ICT spending by improving processes and better using resources to support high-quality service delivery -- while being accountable for the use of public funds. “Better IT support allows DIAC personnel to focus on managing the needs of people visiting or seeking to settle in Australia, and the movement of refugees into Australian territory.” The Unisys desktop outsourcing contract began in 2007 and covers selected end-user computing services including service desk operations, business support services and applications support as well as secure email and internet services, and according to Henshaw “it helps advance the department’s strategic objective to simplify the IT environment and services that support it.” CONTINUED page 2 |
