Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The recent acquisition of Limehouse Software by Australian-listed Objective Corporation has paid off with the software vendor securing a four-year procurement agreement with the UK Central Office of Information (COI).
CIO’s deputy director of strategic consultancy,
Sean Larkins, said today that Limehouse had been awarded the contract
after a selection process which took six months to complete and
involved the evaluation of 130 companies.
Larkins said Limehouse had been selected for its proven consultation and stakeholder management capabilities.
“In recent times we have witnessed a significant increase in demand for
digital consultation and communication with the general public,
employees and other key stakeholders on standard policy issues. To
achieve this, we needed innovative technology partners that could
provide the digital infrastructure to underpin the collaborative and
social networking aspects of all interactions moving forwards.”
Objective (ASX:OCL) CEO, Tony Walls, says the agreement is part of the
new external engagement and facilitation framework which will allow UK
government departments to purchase solutions from Limehouse and other
suppliers without the “costly and protracted procurement processes.”
According to Walls, Limehouse is a market leader in collaborative
content creation, publishing and stakeholder consultation solutions for
local government in the United Kingdom, and the company has “helped
over 200 public sector bodies within the UK in their drive towards
adopting e-government initiatives, by unifying information and
communications.”
“Objective and Limehouse have proven experience in increasing public
sector effectiveness and efficiency. Our partnership with the COI will
help them to deliver better services to their public sector clients at
a lower cost.”
