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.
IT business and services company, Logica, has scored its second major federal government deal in a month, with the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) awarding it a five-year contract for the provision of ICT services, infrastructure and support.
The ACMA contract, reportedly worth $10 million, follows on from Logica’s
signing of an outsourcing contract last month with the National Health
and Medical Research Council. The three-year NHMRC contract - worth
$7.64 million – was for the provision of ICT services, infrastructure
and support for the NHMRC staff located in Canberra and Melbourne
working at the National Institute of Clinical Studies.
In the ACMA contract announced today, Logica will provide ICT services
and support for ACMA’s 540 staff located in Canberra, Melbourne and
Sydney, as well as supporting the organisation’s infrastructure and
service management requirements for remote staff based in additional
office locations around Australia.
As an FMA agency within the federal government portfolio of Broadband,
Communications and the Digital Economy, the ACMA is responsible for the
regulation of broadcasting, the Internet, radio communications and
telecommunications.
ACMA CIO, Cliff Van Lohuizen, said today the ongoing evolution and
uptake of new technologies was a focus for the authority, and, as a
result, ACMA “require a partner who can support this focus with
experience and demonstrated skills in running an IT infrastructure
similar to ACMA.”
“We also set out to appoint an organisation who will engage with us in
a strategic partnership and be proactive in both recommending and
implementing improvements to our IT infrastructure and processes.”
ACMA manager of LAN desktop outsourcing project, Michael Searle, said
that, as part of the outsourcing agreement, Logica was tasked with
assessing ACMA’s IT requirements and subsequently implementing systems
for the transformation and management of the organisation’s servers,
desktop and communications infrastructure.
Logica Australia, CEO, Colin Holgate, said the company would put in
place a team with “exceptional experience, focused on exceeding
customer expectations around product innovation and user satisfaction.”
