January 24 2017 - 1:08AM
Up to AUD $3.16
billion deal to be allocated to Atos and 2 other ICT suppliers over
the next 10 years
Paris, Perth, 24
January 2017 - Atos, a global leader in
digital transformation, has secured a
five-year contract, extendable for an additional five years, with
the government of Western Australia (WA).
This follows a stringent selection
process in which 56 companies pitched to deliver on the
'GovNext-ICT program', a foundational element of the State's
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) strategy launched
in 2016. With this appointment, Atos is on track to achieve its
ambition to bring world-class standards and business practices that
will re-invent and transform citizen engagement in Western
Australia.
As one of the three key ICT
infrastructure service suppliers to the WA government under the
five-year contract, Atos will provide Cloud Computing and Network
and Communications services to this 'whole-of-government'
initiative. At the same time Atos will help to
transform ICT from an 'own and operate' model to a
'consumption-based' model delivering efficiencies, cost savings
and improved service outcomes across the State to meet the growing
demands of mobile and digitally savvy citizens. Atos will
draw on its global competencies, including its global alliances and
key Australian partners to bring world-class experience and
competence in enabling the State's Digital journey.
Herbie Leung,
Head of Atos APAC said: "The Western
Australian Government is leading the world in its approach to the
consumption of technology at a lower cost, and it is exciting to
see the government working as one to set up its future
technological infrastructure to meet the growing demands of WA
citizens. Atos is thrilled to be part of this
journey."
Australia's
Innovation Minister Bill Marmion said:
"The appointment of Atos as one of three suppliers
of ICT infrastructure to the Western Australian Government marks
the beginning of an exciting new digital era for the public sector.
The new arrangements will modernise technology across government
and provide the technical platform for the State's ICT Strategy
Digital-WA. We look forward to working with Atos, and the two
other suppliers, over the term of this contract."
