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 services group, CSG is to deliver an online portal and support services to students in Victorian state schools under a $64.6 million, four year contract with the Victorian Government.
CSG will deploy the Ultranet, Oracle student
learning portal, in every government school in Victoria at a cost of
$47.5 million in the initial two-year contract, and also provide
ongoing support, including application hosting, software maintenance,
and disaster recovery and helpdesk services for an additional two years
at a further cost of $17.1 million.
CSG’s education lead and former managing director of Cinglevue, Greg
Tolefe said the software provided as part of the solution to the
Victorian Government was the result of many years collaboration
between Cinglevue - acquired by CSG in October 2008 - and Oracle’s
global education practice.
“The solution is truly world class, and will support learning in all Victorian government schools.”
CSG CEO, Denis Mackenzie, claimed the contract would involve “the first
true enterprise solution deployed in P-12 education in Australia,” and
he added, "is one of the first systems in the world to offer such a
high level of functionality to students, teachers, parents and
administrators.”
“This is also an exciting step for our business, as it represents our
largest multi-year contract in the enterprise services division. I
believe this will also open up significant opportunities in education
around the country, where other states are looking to procure similar
solutions.
“Despite the economic conditions, both our managed services and
enterprise services divisions continue to grow their pipelines of
potential multi-year contract opportunities.”
