CSC lock up WA police contracts

IT Industry - Strategy

IT services provider, CSC, has snared two new contract wins with the Western Australia Police to provide SAP applications support services.

Under terms of the first contract, valued at an estimated $15 million, CSC will provide SAP applications support services, including upgrade and maintenance work, for the organisation’s resource management information system, an enterprise resource planning application that manages critical business operations for the Western Australia Police.

With the second agreement - the Western Australia Police Project Services Panel contract - CSC is one of two companies competing to provide infrastructure, applications development, systems integration and consultancy services.

Each contract has a five-year base period and five one-year options.

Tony O’Donoghue, WA Police CIO, says that  CSC will provide a “significant contribution to maintaining flexibility in meeting the needs of the community and enhancing the efficiencies of our policing systems.”

O’Donoghue says CSC will tailor a flexible staffing model specific to the requirements of the Western Australia Police, which covers an area of 2.5 million square kilometres, three regions, 14 districts and 162 police stations.

“This model scales up and down and uses local police-cleared CSC staff as well as local providers including NGIS, agile computing, trilogy resources and dialog.”

Nick Wilkinson, president of CSC’s operations in Australia said that CSC could deliver bespoke solutions tailored to help meet client objectives “no matter what our clients’ needs are or where they are based.”

Wilkinson says CSC clients in Western Australia include Western Power, Department of Defence, Western Australia Police, Alcoa, Landgate, Water Corporation, Newmont Mining, Department of Planning and Infrastructure, Department of the Attorney General, Woodside, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto.
