Australian Capital Territory would have liked to have been in on the federal Microsoft volume sourcing contract, according to a general manager of the state's shared services organisation InTACT.
Minister for Finance and Deregulation Lindsay Tanner today announced that Defence had locked down its first Gershon-related procurement deal with software giant Microsoft.
Defence has awarded Data#3 a three-year Microsoft large account reseller contract in a deal which could see the IT services company also servicing other agencies across the Commonwealth.
The IT support functions of several large federal and state government agencies face an uncertain future in coming weeks as Commander Communications' receivers attempt to find buyers for the IT services company.
The Department of Defence's CIO Group, headed up by Greg Farr, will represent the Commonwealth of Australia when negotiating a procurement template for all government agencies.
