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.
