NEC re-secures Parliamentary Services IT support contract
Australian senators and members of Parliament will be supported for the next three years by NEC Australia after the company secured an IT support services contract with the Department of Parliamentary Services (DPS).
As principal support agency for Parliament House in Canberra, DPS provides a range of ICT services to the departments of the Senate and the House of Representatives, delivering everything from Web site hosting to productivity tools and support.
NEC Australia has already been providing services to DPS since 2003, having inherited the previous contract held by CSG IT Services when it was acquired by NEC last year.
The new contract will see the services giant providing managed ICT services to members and senators across its 260 sites across Australia. Under the terms of the deal, NEC will manage over 260 servers, 1300 desktops, 300 laptops and 700 printers.
“NEC Australia is a long term service provider to the Department of Parliamentary Services and we are pleased to continue providing the highest quality support to the Department and its clients,” Colin Cooper, general manager for Federal government business with NEC Australia said in a statement.
“Our multi-vendor technology solutions approach, backed by NEC Australia’s reliable, flexible and nationwide support capabilities, has yet again proven to be the right choice for our customers."
