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.
Western Australian IT services provider, Empired, has secured a $3 million infrastructure outsourcing services contract with the Victoria Government’s Department for Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD).
Under the three-year contract, the
Australian-listed Empired (ASX:EPD) will provide services to manage
second and third level support and maintenance of DEECD’s Microsoft
server platforms including messaging systems, database systems,
internet, intranet, and file and print systems, as well as systems
integration and enhancement services to the department’s internal
systems and infrastructure as required.
Empired managing director, Russell Baskerville, said today the DEECD
contract was significant for the company, and further demonstrated its
“commitment to its expansion in Victoria, and nationally.”
According to Baskerville, Empired secured the contract against strong competition, “referencing its
success and experience in the WA State Government sector.”
The three-year contract is structured as an initial period of one year with two one-year options.
According to Baskerville, the DEECD contract brings the total contracts
secured in Victoria by the company over the last nine months to more
than $5 million, following the recent commencement of managed services
for Australian gold producer and mineral explorer, St Barbara Limited.
Baskerville said that several other multi-million dollar contracts are expected to be announced in coming weeks.
“We are delighted to be awarded this contract by DEECD, one of the
largest Victorian Government departments in the state. Our demonstrated
success in the WA State government sector was pivotal to being awarded
the contract which not only increases Empired’s Victorian profile but
further enhances our state government credentials.
“On the back of this win Empired will significantly increase staffing
levels in Victoria and actively pursue a number of other Victorian
State Government IT outsourcing contracts.”
